Python modules are not always de-allocated when Python exits.

Explanation:

  • The modules with circular references to other objects, or to objects referenced from global namespaces, aren’t always freed on exiting Python.

  • Plus, it is impossible to de-allocate portions of memory reserved by the C library.

  • On exit, because of having its own efficient cleanup mechanism, Python would try to de-allocate/destroy every other object.
