[Python-Dev] funny leak

[Christian Tismer]

Hi Tim et al,

I just tested generators and found a memory leak.
(Has nothing to do with generators).
The following code adds one to the overall refcount
and gc cannot reclaim it.

def conjoin(gs):
     def gen():
         gs      # unbreakable cycle
         gen     # unless one is commented out

Should I send a bug report, or is this known?

The above holds for Python 2.2.2 upto the current CVS
version.

ciao - chris
