I've raised an RFE (http://bugs.python.org/issue9789) to point out that the need for that GC collect call in there to make the test portable to other implementations is rather ugly and supporting an explicit "buf.release()" call may be a nicer option.

There was already an issue open for the context management option: http://bugs.python.org/issue9757

Antoine.
