Ah, ok. It would be somewhat confusing, though, that __module__ is sometimes a module object, and sometimes a string (it certainly confused me). > So what if it is a circular reference (module references dict which > references module), we've got a GC which handles cycles just fine (when > users try not to be too smart). That remains to be seen in practice. Currently, modules are explicitly cleared at shutdown. I think any cycle with an object implementing __del__ will keep loads of modules alive, noncollectable for GC.
