I have confirmed that and was working towards getting my findings posted when this message came in :). Specifically, the leak is somewhere in sub (I believe patternsubx() in sre.c), but I currently lack the skill to figure out where.

I think there is a Py_DECREF(list) call missing at line 2434. Running the test suite now to verify. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20131018/8ba76bf7/attachment.html>
