The
ospfclient.py
script crashes immediately in python >3.10 due to this change to fix a memory leak in the Python sockets API. It causes garbage collectedStreamWriter
instances to call.close()
, which in-turn causes theospfclient.py
script to incorrectly call.close()
on the async socket immediately after opening it, since it is currently using a throwaway_
variable to store this writer, which immediately goes out of scope.Before this patch
