34865	DatabaseWrapper are not GC and connections are not closed	Fábio Domingues	Priyank Panchal	"I have found possible memory leak when investigating why database connections where not closed after the thread/coroutine ended (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33497 and https://github.com/django/django/pull/17275), the `DatabaseWrapper` ends up in a circular reference with `DatabaseFeatures`/`DatabaseCreation`/`DatabaseClient`/... and the GC could not cleanup the objects.
I tryed use `WeakRef` from the ""child"" objects to the wrapper or deleting the `__dict__` and the wrapper was collected and the connections was closed.
