Martin Panter added the comment:

Sounds like urlopen() is relying on garbage collection to close the socket and 
connection. Maybe it would be better to explicitly close the socket, even if 
you do eliminate all the garbage reference cycles.

My test code for Issue 19524 might be useful here. It verifies close() has been 
called on the HTTP socket.
