Given that the above error is triggered in the .__del__()
method, it is generated during garbage collection of the connection
object and there's obviously an attempt being made at calling
an object which was already garbage collected.

Are you using multiple threads or a single threaded process and
sharing the session object between those ?

Do you see any other messages related to this in the client or
server log files ?

Thanks,
