This should not be a problem, I think. We cannot avoid such a circular reference. I believe the main reason of the circular reference is in MyClass.__mro__, this is a list and contains a reference to MyClass. You can add "__slots__ = []" to MyClass's class body to avoid __dict__(the one you mentioned) and another member which contains two more references to MyClass, but the __mro__ still contains the last reference to MyClass.
