Robert Collins added the comment: I've done some experimentation. Yes, the updated test passes when the clear_frames call is removed in cPython 3.5
But the original test also passes when clear_frames is not called if one drops into pdb and steps through, which still fits the symptoms of having a loop. The problem is then, that gc-only interpreters make no guarantees about lifetime of objects and this test needs a guarantee. As such I think conditional skipping is probably best. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22764> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
