That said, I welcome any suggestions to improve things. The ultimate reasons we need to purge some modules are the same two reasons I indicated on python-dev: C extension modules are almost immortal; and some C code keeps references alive too long. Do you agree that this patch is ok and we should address those two problems in separate new issues?

That said, I welcome any suggestions to improve things. The ultimate
reasons we need to purge some modules are the same two reasons I
indicated on python-dev: C extension modules are almost immortal;
and some C code keeps references alive too long.

Do you agree that this patch is ok and we should address those two
problems in separate new issues?
