Nick Coghlan added the comment: Ah, I think I've found a possible underlying culprit: there's a separate C level "codec_search_cache" on the interpreter object that is independent of encodings._cache.
The attached patch eliminates the reference leaks entirely (using gc.get_referrers() to get a reference to the otherwise inaccessible internal interpreter cache). However, the patch has a bunch of changes that may not be necessary if that cache is dealt with properly, so I'm going to revert everything, and *start* with fixing the cache cleanup. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file36559/issue22166_no_leaks_too_many_changes.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22166> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
