Well, these are real leaks, but I expect them to be quite difficult to track (I've found a couple of them), because they can be scattered around in C module initialization routines and the like. I suggest we skip this test on refleak runs.

Do we have any general strategy to help make it more fine-grained to detect where the leak might be coming from? We could then maybe try to get some people pound on this at the PyCon sprints. Otherwise I'm reluctant to skip it since they are legitimate leaks that should be get fixed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
