The cycle detector is able to detect garbage cycles and can reclaim them so long as there are no finalizers implemented in Python (:meth:`__del__` methods). When there are such finalizers, the detector exposes the cycles through the -:mod:`gc` module (specifically, the -``garbage`` variable in that module). The :mod:`gc` module also exposes a way -to run the detector (the :func:`collect` function), as well as configuration +:mod:`gc` module (specifically, the :attr:`~gc.garbage` variable in that module). +The :mod:`gc` module also exposes a way to run the detector (the +:func:`~gc.collect` function), as well as configuration interfaces and the ability to disable the detector at runtime. The cycle detector is considered an optional component; though it is included by default, it can be disabled at build time using the :option:`--without-cycle-gc` option |
