[issue3066] FD leak in urllib2

[Sharmila Sivakumar]

Sharmila Sivakumar <siva.sharmi at gmail.com> added the comment:

Since the socket object is added to a list, a reference to the object
always exists right? That would mean that it would not be garbage
collected as long as the reference exists.  

On the other hand, it should also be noted that in close method, the
socket is not explicitly closed and for a single urlopen, atleast 3
sockets are opened.
