New issue 2183: PyPy 4.0.0 SSL module appears to leak memory. https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2183/pypy-400-ssl-module-appears-to-leak-memory
Cory Benfield: Originally raised as [Requests issue #2862](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/2862). It seems that somewhere in the PyPy stack, the SSL module leaks memory. The following script slowly but indefinitely leaks memory on my machine (OS X 10.11 El Capitan) under the latest two PyPy releases (4.0.0 and 2.6.1) at least. The script does not leak under CPython 2.7.10. The script is below: ``` #!python import gc import time import socket import ssl import sys def main(): while True: ctx = ssl.create_default_context() s = socket.create_connection(('www.bing.com', 443)) s = ctx.wrap_socket(s, server_hostname='www.bing.com') s.close() time.sleep(0.1) sys.stderr.write('.') sys.stderr.flush() gc.collect() if __name__ == '__main__': main() ``` Please let me know if there's any additional diagnostics you'd like to see. _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
