I am using my own definition of leaking: a test is leaking if references grow without bounds ;-). Ok, I found that the test in charge is Lib/ctypes/test/test_loading.py, LoaderTest.test_find. This test uses the ctypes.util.find_library function, which contains several calls to os.popen(...).read(). The minimal code reporting the -33/+33 leaks that I found is simply this: os.popen('ls').read() Is there a problem in "os.popen(...)", or do I something wrong here? __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1597> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
