> What other object in the standard lib, leaks resources when deleted in > CPython ? Threads come to mind, for example: >>> import time, threading, weakref >>> t = threading.Thread(target=time.sleep, args=(100000,)) >>> t.start() >>> wr = weakref.ref(t) >>> del t >>> wr() <Thread(Thread-1, started 139937234327296)> Note I'm not against fixing this issue, just saying it's not that surprising for Pool to keep lingering around when you lost any user-visible reference to it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34172> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
