New submission from Daniel Stutzbach <dan...@stutzbachenterprises.com>:
The following is from Lib/test/test_descr.py. It's trying to test if
looking up a special method on an object leaks references. It tests it
by using __cmp__. The test will always pass because Python 3 is trying
to look up __eq__, not __cmp__. Hence, __cmp__ should be changed to __eq__.
# Test lookup leaks [SF bug 572567]
import sys,gc
if hasattr(gc, 'get_objects'):
class G(object):
def __cmp__(self, other):
return 0
g = G()
orig_objects = len(gc.get_objects())
for i in range(10):
g==g
new_objects = len(gc.get_objects())
self.assertEqual(orig_objects, new_objects)
