That's hard to do although I suppose not impossible. We would be trying to test the interpreter shutdown procedure. I suppose on plaforms that support it we could fork a subprocess and then inspect the output from del methods.

Why not just expose the module-teardown procedure and call it on a module, then inspect the state there as it's being torn down? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
