pexpect.__del__() calls pexpect._close() which calls
os.close(). When the program is terminating, the os
module may be deleted before pexpect.__del__() is
called, causing None.close() to called and raising an
AttributeError. Python correctly suppress the
exception and prints a warning, but the warning is
annoying.
A work-around is to only call pexpect._close() if os in
not None.
