New submission from Antoine Pitrou: The site module patches the builtins module unless Python is run with -S. Unfortunately, this means the builtins dict then keeps the site module globals alive until the end of interpreter shutdown, preventing the garbage collection of many other objects or modules.
Attached patch isolates those patched builtins inside a separate module "_sitebuiltins". ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: sitebuiltins.patch keywords: patch messages: 194117 nosy: pitrou, sbt priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: site.py keeps too much stuff alive when it patches builtins type: resource usage versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31114/sitebuiltins.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
