Describe the bug
Python 3.9, arm32v7, Ubuntu buster
Not sure if this is a bug or explicitly built into the code.
Our system has been receiving RuntimeError after 245 calls when connecting to awsiot.greengrasscoreipc.connect(). The specific error message is RuntimeError: 30 (AWS_ERROR_PRIORITY_QUEUE_EMPTY): Attempt to pop an item from an empty queue.
Expected Behavior
Expected connection call to continue to working
Current Behavior
After the 245th established connection RuntimeError (AWS_ERROR_PRIORITY_QUEUE_EMPTY) is raised.
Reproduction Steps
This code snippet has reproduced the error:
import awsiot.greengrasscoreipc
count = 0
while True:
ipc_client = awsiot.greengrasscoreipc.connect()
print(f"Number of loops: {count}")
count += 1
This was also tested with sleep added after each call.

Greetings! It looks like this issue hasn’t been active in longer than a week. We encourage you to check if this is still an issue in the latest release. Because it has been longer than a week since the last update on this, and in the absence of more information, we will be closing this issue soon. If you find that this is still a problem, please feel free to provide a comment or add an upvote to prevent automatic closure, or if the issue is already closed, please feel free to open a new one.
The Greengrass IPC client bindings intentionally contain a reference cycle. You must call .close() on the client to break the cycle and put the client in a state where it can be GCd.
This issue is now closed. Comments on closed issues are hard for our team to see.
If you need more assistance, please open a new issue that references this one.
I'll see if there are some places in the documentation where it would make sense to add this information.
Closing as of #572
