Hello,
Even after close()ing, asyncio.selector_events._SelectorSocketTransport keeps a reference to itself via self._read_ready_cb.
should probably add
Cheers !
Itaï.

The gc would break the cycle anyways, is this an issue in practice? @begnac
begnac commentedon Sep 26, 2022
In my experience, the gc doesn't always break all the cycles.
Personally I like to check for cycles in my code and clean them up, just in case. Sometimes I stumble over cycles in code I use. Specifically about this one, it's been such a long time I do not remember... but if I found it, it's because something didn't get cleaned up :)

I think it's a reasonable suggestion and the fix should be simple.
