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? __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1469> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
