New submission from Armin Rigo:
multiprocessing.queues.SimpleQueue should have a close() method. This is
needed to explicitly release the two file descriptors of the Pipe used
internally. Without it, the file descriptors leak if a reference to the
SimpleQueue object happens to stay around for longer than expected (e.g. in a
reference cycle, or with PyPy).
I think the following would do:
diff -r 0b72fd1a7641 lib-python/2.7/multiprocessing/queues.py
