# TODO: The BayesianCalculator has to be destructed first. Otherwise, we can get
# segmentation faults depending on the destruction order, which is random in
# Python. Probably the issue is that some object has a non-owning pointer to
# another object, which it uses in its destructor. This should be fixed either
# in the design of RooStats in C++, or with phythonizations.
