> Could you explain the changes to the unittest?
The reference to "self" in the hooks were preventing the GC of the test case, as far as I understand, because it creates a cycle.
When using weak references, there's no more dead cycles.
It is my own explanation, maybe it's not exactly what happens.
For the sys.traceback, I could not explain it better than the FAQ:
http://docs.python.org/faq/design.html#how-does-python-manage-memory
I may add a small comment in test_replication to explain the usage of weakref. |
