--- ** [tickets:#8314] @memoize on methods should still allow garbage collection** **Status:** closed **Milestone:** unreleased **Created:** Wed Jul 03, 2019 08:14 PM UTC by Dave Brondsema **Last Updated:** Wed Jul 03, 2019 09:32 PM UTC **Owner:** Dave Brondsema Our `@memoize` works pretty similarly to `@lru_cache` and doesn't do what you might expect on a method (as opposed to a simple function). It creates a global class-level cache with `self` as one of the args and thus the `self` object is referenced forever and cannot be garbage collected. https://bugs.python.org/issue19859 describes the situation --- Sent from forge-allura.apache.org because dev@allura.apache.org is subscribed to https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/admin/tickets/options.
