That doesn't quite make sense to me.  AIUI, the C part of the code
should still have a borrowed reference to the Translator object from
PyObject_CallObject, so it shouldn't be deleted.  If not, that's easy to
fix.  However, even if that were the case, __init__ would be called on
the new object and things would still work (albeit inefficiently).  Have
you verified that __init__ is in fact being called multiple times?  If
not, then it's a different kind of problem that we'll need to figure out.
