@ -986,10 +986,10 @@ instead. Also, when \method{__del__()} is invoked in response to a module
being deleted (e.g., when execution of the program is done), other
globals referenced by the \method{__del__()} method may already have been
deleted. For this reason, \method{__del__()} methods should do the
absolute minimum needed to maintain external invariants. Python 1.5
guarantees that globals whose name begins with a single underscore are
deleted from their module before other globals are deleted; if no
other references to such globals exist, this may help in assuring that
absolute minimum needed to maintain external invariants. Starting with
version 1.5, Python guarantees that globals whose name begins with a single
underscore are deleted from their module before other globals are deleted;
if no other references to such globals exist, this may help in assuring that
imported modules are still available at the time when the
\method{__del__()} method is called.
