   @merlimat I suggest solving it in Python: have producer objects, when created, store a Python-side reference to the Client that created them. Python's cyclic garbage collector should be able to appropriately handle that cleanup, in python 3 at least. The cyclic GC works "all right", not perfectly, in Python 2, but is much improved in 3. I think this can be done without changes in the native code.
   
   EDIT this might be what you're proposing above, in which case I'm sorry for the duplication.
   
   That's not quite idiomatic, but the typical Python conventions for this kind of thing (use contextmanagers for producers/consumers) would require a larger refactor to the driver and would break back compatibility.
