[python] Py_Finalize(): To call, or not to call?

Hi, I remember reading in the boost documentation a while back that Py_Finalize() should not be called when using Boost.Python to embed or extend python. I cannot find that documentation again, unfortunately. Is this a true statement or is it safe to call Py_Finalize()? If not, why can this not be called? How does Boost.Python handle finalizing the interpreter? Thanks.
