I can confirm the issue is in urllib's open: it fails to close() the HTTP connection, leaving it to the GC to do it.

If addinfourl (and friends) is altered to carry a reference to the HTTP connection and close it on close(), the leak is fixed.

I have a patch but it is incomplete (just a POC), it only handles the common case I use.
