This means that when __del__ is called during interpreter shutdown (if, for example, the calling program still has a pointer to the shelf), sometimes that global identifier would wind up being None, causing mysterious 'ignored' exceptions. This patch checks for the possible None value first before using the global, thus avoiding the error messages. ........ ................
