Bill Janssen added the comment:

I think Christian analysis is right, in that it takes a bit of GC
support, but not perhaps in the specifics of his approach.  I've done
two things to fix this:

1)  Put _real_close() back in socket.py, and then override it in
ssl.SSLSocket to release the SSLContext, and

2)  Change the pointer to the SSLSocket in _ssl.c to a weakref.

Now SSLSockets get cleaned up properly by the GC system.

One question: _real_close() is what Java calls a "protected" method.  Do
we have any way to mark this with annotations or metaclass stuff?
