So your version is older than mine. Let me check Misc/NEWS... Oh... "Issue #15219: Fix a reference leak when hashlib.new() is called with invalid parameters." in the "What's New in Python 2.7.4 release candidate 1" section. Can you please try a more recent Python 2.7 version to check if it's the same bug? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20967> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
