dealloc is what you're looking for, but I'd imagine __del__ may also  
work, because the Python object doesn't get collected until the same  
time (or later) that it would get collected from ObjC land.

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ 
ObjC_classic/Classes/NSObject.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000050/dealloc

I've never tried overriding this from PyObjC, but I would imagine it  
does the right thing.  I'd take a look at the PyObjC examples and/or  
sourcecode to see if anyone is using it (or __del__).
