test_generators leaked [255, 255, 255] references
254 of those 255 leaks seem to be caused by the two recursive-generator examples at the bottom of the fun_tests doctest: fib() and the last m235() implementation. The recursiveness isn't in the generators themselves, but rather in the use of their own return values through a nested scope -- the cell objects for those values hold tee-iterators which hold (through a tee-dataobject) a reference to the generator. It doesn't look like tee-objects participate in GC, so there's no way to break the cycle. I added a quick 'close' implementation to itertools.tee, which just calls the 'close' method of whatever iterator it is tee'ing, and that does solve the issue. Considering the fairly convoluted use of generators, I guess the latter solution is acceptable (although it would be nice if tee objects did do GC, at least enough so to let the GC do its work. I haven't looked at howmuch effort that would take.)
The last leak is somewhere in the coroutines_tests doctest, but I haven't taken the time to figure out where, exactly.
