STINNER Victor added the comment: The leak can reproduce only using this test:
def test_execve_invalid_env(self): args = [sys.executable, '-c', 'pass'] # equal character in the enviroment variable name newenv = os.environ.copy() newenv["FRUIT=ORANGE"] = "lemon" with self.assertRaises(ValueError): os.execve(args[0], args, newenv) It seems like the bug is in parse_envlist() function of Modules/posixmodule.c, when a key contains the '=' character. ---------- keywords: +easy (C) title: test_execve_invalid_env() of test_os leaks references -> [EASY (C)] test_execve_invalid_env() of test_os leaks references _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30769> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
