Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com> added the comment:
typeobject.c:
TPSLOT("__del__", tp_del, slot_tp_del, NULL, ""),
I'm not super-familiar with how typeobjects and slots work, but I imagine that
if a type is defined with a __del__ member, then the tp_del slot is
automatically filled out. The converse need not be true.
At any rate, the non-zero-ness of tp_del is what gcmodule.c uses to find out if
an object has a finaliser. There is a code rudiment present in gcmodule.c,
that hints at an earlier time when '__del__' was looked up but that string is
not actually used. That can be removed to, eiter as part of this patch or
separately since it should be quite uncontroversial.
