If I am not mistaken, I think that PyStructSequence_NewType() should set the Py_TPFLAGS_HEAPTYPE flag in tp->flags (which it currently does not). The original version initially works fine, but ultimately crashes at exit time in finalization with

Fatal Python error: type_traverse() called for non-heap type 'E_FILE'

Setting the flag manually after creation lets the problem disappear.

See also issue15729.

As commented in issue15729, the Py_TPFLAGS_HEAPTYPE flag is now set in PyType_FromSpecWithBases() which is called by PyStructSequence_NewType(). I think this is no longer an issue.

Thanks @nanjekyejoannah for comment.

Yes, I found that the codes are updated.
see https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/bd44a7ead9f7336d7bb45f186b2b6ca0300154f7/Objects/structseq.c#L488

I close this issue.
