[issue15635] memory leak with generators

[Florent Xicluna]

Florent Xicluna added the comment:

Though, I cannot reproduce on Debian Squeeze (2.6.6 deb or 2.7 from source) or Ubuntu (2.7.2+ or 3.2).

Someone on OS X might confirm the same issue.
This is python 2.7.3 installed from source (using perlbrew) and GCC 4.2.1.


The output of the script is:

$ python testiterbug.py
2.7.3 (default, May 20 2012, 19:54:58)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)]
