Thanks for the reiteration/clarification...  Do you see any reason why a fail-safe check similar to what I proposed would be ill advised?

Just to echo what Tom said, the error suggests that ``gc.collect()`` is being called after the gc module is most of the way through being torn down, so that the ``collect`` function has already been deleted...
