It is guaranteed that objects with a reference count of zero will be
disposed.
Only in current CPython.
In my experiments, this happens immediately.
Depends what you mean, but even in current CPython destruction of a local can be
postponed indefinitely if a reference to the stack frame is kept somewhere.
And that happens, for example, when an exception is raised (until the handler
completes, but it doesn't necessarily complete for a Very Long Time).
