Keep track of Python bugfix on tp_traverse implementation for iterators #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Extract from http://bugs.python.org/issue3680

"The dict, set, and deque iterators do not implement tp_traverse although
they reference container objects. This can lead to reference cycles
which will not be collected."

Once this is fixed, pympler can use gc.get_referents to get all objects
referents. Currently this is not possible for the above mentioned iterators.

The change has been applied to the trunks (2.7 and 3.1), and will be backported 
to
2.6 and 3.0.
