Indeed, you're right, this is just differently convoluted so no leak (not that
I would call "collected by a normal GC" a leak :-)).
That said, I've hit another issue, with SNI callbacks. The first argument to an
SNI callback is the socket. The callback is set up by some C code, which right
now has access to only the _socket.socket object, not the ssl.SSLSocket object,
which is what the public API needs there.
Possible solutions are:
* Pass the SSLObject *in addition* to the _socket.socket object to the C code.
This generates some additional divergence from the Python3 code, but is
probably basically straightforward.
* Try to refactor the socket code in the same way as Python3 did, so we can
pass *only* the SSLObject here. This is some nasty scope creep for PEP466,
but would make the overall _ssl.c diff smaller.
* Some super sweet and simple thing I haven't thought of yet.
Thoughts?
By way of a general status update, the only failing tests left are this, and a
few things about SSLError's str(), so this will hopefully be ready to upload
any day now for review.
Cheers,
Alex
