What happens to the total memory when python exists?

Whenever Python exits, especially those python modules which are having circular references to other objects or the objects that are referenced from the global namespaces are not always de – allocated/freed/uncollectable.

It is impossible to deallocate those portions of memory that are reserved by the C library.

On exit, because of having its own efficient clean up mechanism, Python would try to deallocate/destroy every object.
