That's basically a duplicate of bpo-1635741.

[issue6741] Garbage collector release method

[Satshabad Khalsa]

Satshabad Khalsa added the comment:

This is a test that is supposed to run c that creates two objects, cross 
references them with embedded python DECREF's the objects. Then it asserts that 
after Py_fini is called, they have no more references because the gc should 
have collected them. 

Unfortunately the test is not failing for the right reasons and I can't figure 
out why.

I,m trying to develop this patch now, but I'm facing the challenge 
(wrong ref_count or list corruption in dict objects). If I can solve 
it, I publish patch here.

[issue6741] Garbage collector release method

[Lev]

New submission from Lev lgards...@gmail.com:

WinCRT debug detects several memory leaks after calling py_Initialize
(); py_Finalize(); functions. Most of them are garbage collector 
visible python's objects. I suggest to create release method in 
garbage collector which will distruct all objects in GC list without 
reference count checking, and call this method at the end of py_Finalize
() function. I think, that it will help to avoid memory leaks after 
calling py_Finalize() function.
