I think if the __del__() were to be called in a way that is useful to 
your case, it would've been called when the instance is cleared from the 
database.

I searched for an event that might be fired upon shutdown, but there 
seems not to be one. It actually make me wonder how shutdown actually 
works. This needs a bit of investigation...
