Generally speaking, close() and __delete__() methods that can be invoked during interpreter shutdown should avoid referencing module globals at all. Necessary globals (including members of other modules) should either be cached on the relevant class or captured in a closure. Now, it may be that the relevant close() method in io.py touches too much code for that to be practical, but it certainly isn't the case in general that encountering Name/Attribute/ImportError during shutdown is inevitable.
