-From 66851cc2630f7089d2de2bba054418cfd16563ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
-From: Vratislav Podzimek <vpodzime@redhat.com>

-Subject: [PATCH] Prevent ignored exceptions in __del__ from happening
-
-For some reason we cannot call the functions from the loaded libbytesize C
-library in some cases when __del__ is called. Let's just prevent the ignored
-exceptions from happening.
