[issue38251] urllib.request memory leak / overflow

Yes, the problem will be fixed by 3.7.5.

In the mean time you can work around the issue by creating a single SSLContext object with ssl.create_default_context() and reusing it for all requests. It's also much more efficient to reuse a single context for all requests.
