"f.__doc__ = f" or "f.__module__ = f" don't make any sense. It looks like a bug triggered on purpose. While it's bad, it's not a big deal.

The fix (commit 3c452404ae178b742967589a0bb4a5ec768d76e0) is causing way worse issues than the "artificial" memory leak (reference cycle). I wrote PR 15826 to revert the change in Python 3.8. bpo-38006 root issues are not well understood nor fixed yet.
