The docs say (in 
http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/ref/customization.ht
ml):

"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 
imported modules are still available at the time when the 
__del__() method is called."

It should be made clear whether this is still true for 
newer python versions (or not).

Clarified docs.  See ref3.tex 1.94.
Marking as fixed and closing.
