[issue42263] Removing thread reference in thread results in leaked reference

[Martin Panter]

Maybe this is related to (or duplicate of) Issue 37788? Python 3.7 has a regression where threads that are never joined cause leaks; previous code was written assuming you didn't need to join threads.

Do you still see the leak even if you don't clear the "threads" list (change the target to a no-op), or if you never create a list in the first place?
