Hello, I have proposed a new generator finalization scheme in http://bugs.python.org/issue17807: it removes the tp_del from generator objects, instead electing to cleanup the generator (equivalent of calling close()) in the frame's tp_clean function. This way, generators with a try / finally block can be finalized even when they are part of reference cycles.
This has stemmed from http://bugs.python.org/issue17468, which mentions a memory leak in Django due to uncollectable generators. Feedback welcome. Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
