Hello,

PEP 442 has now been committed in time for testing in Alpha 1.

This paves the way for the removal of another well-known annoyance: the
behaviour of module globals at shutdown. Now that reference cycles
aren't a barrier to object finalization anymore, we shouldn't need
to set module globals to None before trying to reclaim modules.
(and then, we don't need to cache global functions for use in
finalizers, either)

I have a patch to suppress the hack in
http://bugs.python.org/issue18214
Once I get to add some tests, I would like to commit it soon too!

Regards

Antoine.
