The problem of not fixing this (and just add a suggestion in the docs saying that the user may re-implement this method) is that frequently this call is hidden at the core of many networking libraries. So monkey-patching is needed instead, which is not always nice or easy. > I just found an old bug in socket.create_connection(): > https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/3546 Regarding #3546, i'm surprised that a function-local variable keeps its contents alive, long after the frame of that function has gone. I thought that local-variables were deterministically (ref-countering) destructed.
