Python3.8.0a4,b1,b2(x64,x32)
Python3.7.4rc1,rc2 (x64,x32)
In Windows7 SP1(x64), memory usage keep increasing by the following code.
---
from urllib import request
from time import sleep
while True:
    req = request.Request('https://www.python.org/')
    request.urlopen(req)
    sleep(1)

Sorry, I'm not sure why.
