About half of the remaining refs are related to encodings. I noticed that caches on Lib/encodings/__init__.py and codec_search_cach of PyInterpreterState are the places holding the refs. I removed those caches and number went do to: Before: 4382 refs left After : 2344 refs left (-46%) The way to destroy codec_search_cache was recently changed on #36854 and $38962. (Not proposing to merge this, but my changes are at https://github.com/python/cpython/compare/master...phsilva:remove-codec-caches). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue1635741> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
