Strange, I can't reproduce the problem with any Python version. Even
py3k doesn't crash with either "import imp" and "import warnings".
$ cat ../issue4236.py
class Crasher(object):
 def __del__(self):
 print("__del__ called")
 import imp
crasher = Crasher()
$ python2.4 issue4236.py
__del__ called
Exception exceptions.ImportError: 'No module named imp' in <bound method
