It's a reasonable thing to do, except that you haven't deactivated the
objects. Removing the servants from the list you are holding doesn't
deactivate them, so the objects are still alive. You must explicitly
deactivate them using deactivate_object().

There are all sorts of other schemes you could use to manage object
lifecycles. I'd strongly recommend getting "Advanced CORBA Programming
with C++" by Henning and Vinoski. Despite the examples being in C++,
it has a lot of good content relevant to Python.

Cheers,

Duncan.
