Sharmila Sivakumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Since the socket object is added to a list, a reference to the object always exists right? That would mean that it would not be garbage collected as long as the reference exists.
On the other hand, it should also be noted that in close method, the socket is not explicitly closed and for a single urlopen, atleast 3 sockets are opened. ---------- nosy: +sharmila _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3066> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
