New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.kar...@gmail.com>:
I originally hit upon this with issue36777 where I have used
support.script_helper.make_script which calls importlib.invalidate_caches and
then trying to use __import__ on an empty folder causes reference leak. I tried
3.8 to 3.5 and it exists on each version. A sample script as below. I tried
using try finally instead of DirsOnSysPath in doubt and it still causes leak. I
couldn't find any issues on search and let me know if I am using something in
an incorrect manner.
import importlib
import unittest
import os, sys
import os.path
from test import support
def test_importlib_cache():
with support.temp_dir() as path:
dirname, basename = os.path.split(path)
os.mkdir(os.path.join(path, 'test2'))
importlib.invalidate_caches()
with support.DirsOnSysPath(dirname):
__import__("{basename}.test2".format(basename=basename))
class Tests(unittest.TestCase):
def test_bug(self):
for _ in range(10):
test_importlib_cache()
➜ cpython git:(master) ✗ ./python.exe -m test -R 3:3 test_import_bug
Run tests sequentially
0:00:00 load avg: 1.56 [1/1] test_import_bug

test_import_bug leaked [980, 980, 980] references, sum=2940
test_import_bug leaked [370, 370, 370] memory blocks, sum=1110
test_import_bug failed

test_import_bug

Tests result: FAILURE
I also tried __import__('test1.test2') instead of
__import__("{basename}.test2".format(basename=basename)) and the program
doesn't cause reference leak. Moving importlib.invalidate_caches() above
support.temp_dir() also causes leak so I guess it's not something to do with
temporary directories that are cleaned up after tests.
➜ cpython git:(master) ✗ mkdir -p test1/test2
