Answer 1

Close your connections in the normal program control flow, not in __del__, as @THC4k said, it's not a deconstructor, and in general, you shouldn't need to use __del__ (of course there are exceptions).

If you're creating your own threads, you need to .setDaemon(True) if you want them to exit normally when the main thread exits.
