Hi Fredrik,
When the application is running, or when it is shutting down?
This is interesting, I did a test where I explicitly destroyed the instance
using 'del my_instance' while the application was running and no error was
thrown.
It would see you are right, when the application ends it kills the logging
module before my classes. I think you're on the right approach just
try/except it and leave it be.
Am I right in thinking that Python destroys instances of classes when it
deems they are no longer needed? I shouldn't have to explicitly delete the
classes, right?
Thanks Fredrik,

Python uses reference counting with a cycle detector, but the
detector's behaviour is different if there are finalizers (__del__) -

Thank you for the link, that certainly explains a great deal.
So, am I right to assume that python will still handle its garbage disposal
if I implement __del__(), it just handles circular references in a slightly
different way, but to the same effect. Right?
Cheers,
Robert

No. Circular references in objects with a `__del__()` implementation are
not collected! Why are you using `__del__()` anyway? Are you aware of
the promises that are *not* made! It's not guaranteed when the method
is called nor if it is called at all!
