Crash on exit in iPython OSX #29

Closed bastibe closed 8 years ago

bastibe commented 10 years ago

If you start a stream on iPython on OSX, then quit iPython without stopping the stream, Python will crash during shutdown.

This is apparently a problem of IPython keeping a reference to the stream alive, and never triggering the destructor. As far as I know, there is nothing we can do about it.
