Reference leak

[Mike Droettboom]

wxPython 2.8.1.1 has a reference leak whereby every class that inherits from a wxPython class will leak a dictionary object. This bug was addressed in the wxPython 2.8.3.0 release, or it can be fixed independently with the following patch:

http://cvs.wxwidgets.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWidgets/wxPython/src/helpers.cpp.diff?r1=1.145&r2=1.145.4.1

To reproduce, run the following Python script. If things are working correctly, the numbers printed out will not increase.

import wx
import gc

class Test(wx.Frame):
    pass

wxapp = wx.PySimpleApp()

for i in range(100):
    test = Test(None)
    print len(gc.get_objects())
