Memory leak in pyodbc.connect: version: 3.0.7

[shruti.k...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am using pyodbc to connect to sql server. In my scenario the login fails and pyodbc reports a Programming error. But in this case it does not release the memory after reporting the error.

Code:

import pyodbc, time
def testmem():
    conn = None
    try:
        conn = pyodbc.connect(conn_str)
    except Exception as e:
        pass
for i in range(100):
    testmem()

If I attach a profiler, I can see memory getting increased. Any idea how the memory can be freed in this case

I'll have to check.  In the meantime, can you test with version 4.0.2?

Also, it would be best to open an GitHub issue for things like this to get them noticed sooner.  Thanks.
