Hi,
I intended for gc.collect() to actually collect cycles even if the auto-GC was disabled. Having Py_Finalize() run GC even when it has been disabled seems wrong to me. Originally, cyclic GC was supposed to be optional. Back then, most programs did not leak cycles. I would vote for Py_Finalize() checking the 'enabled' flag and not calling PyGC_Collect if false.
Regards,
Neil
