[issue31753] Unnecessary closure in ast.literal_eval

[Thierry Excoffier]

Thierry Excoffier <thierry.excoffier at gmail.com> added the comment:

I assumed that the standard python library does not create circular references, so the GC can be disabled safely in real time application.

Each time 'literal_eval' is called, it creates a circular reference and so a memory leak.

The source of this leak is the recursive closure.
