The close method is 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.visualstudio.debugger.interop.iactivescript.close?view=visualstudiosdk-2019, 
so it's the responsibility of the host to call that. I agree it's a bit 
of a red flag, and may point to confusion in the host about object 
lifetimes, which could certainly end up causing what you are seeing. 
It's worth pointing out that any "obvious" bug in pywin32 here would 
probably be able to be reproduced in, and reported by, the various other 
hosts, including cscript.exe and wscript.exe (which themselves are just 
active script hosts, just like your problematic host)
