Flask instances with static folders were creating a reference cycle via their "static" view function (which held a strong reference back to the Flask instance to call its `send_static_file` method). This prevented CPython from freeing the memory for a Flask instance when all external references to it were released. Now use a weakref for the back reference to avoid this.

Flask
=====
Flask is a lightweight `WSGI`_ web application framework. It is designed
to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to
complex applications. It began as a simple wrapper around `Werkzeug`_
and `Jinja`_ and has become one of the most popular Python web
application frameworks.
Flask offers suggestions, but doesn't enforce any dependencies or
project layout. It is up to the developer to choose the tools and
libraries they want to use. There are many extensions provided by the
community that make adding new functionality easy.
