Exception during shutdown because of __del__ about pyinotify HOT 1 OPEN

Update: in my application, this happens whether there is an error or not. I have what will be a long running python app that watches directories. I build a class that stores an Inotify object as a member variable. When the program exits, I get the exception shown above because in my setup, my object is being cleaned up after the inotify module (maybe?) is being cleaned up. I haven't been able to make a simpler test case for this but it happens every time right now in my bigger application.

from pyinotify.
