New submission from Jim Fulton <j...@zope.com>: I assume ABCs use some sort of cache for issubclass checks.
I also assume the cache doesn't use weakrefs, leading to leaks in classes created on the fly (as is common in tests). The attached script demonstrates the leak. The leak doesn't seem to occur in Python 3.1.2. ---------- files: abc_issubclass_leak.py messages: 115323 nosy: j1m priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ABC issubclass/isinstance leaks in Python 2 versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18703/abc_issubclass_leak.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9734> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
