Claudio Freire added the comment: I can confirm the issue is in urllib's open: it fails to close() the HTTP connection, leaving it to the GC to do it.
If addinfourl (and friends) is altered to carry a reference to the HTTP connection and close it on close(), the leak is fixed. I have a patch but it is incomplete (just a POC), it only handles the common case I use. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18144> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
