Fix unclosed Session file descriptor leak in RequestsClient (fixes #874)

[Jah-yee]

Summary

Fixes file descriptor / socket leak in stripe-python when using the requests client.

Problem

The RequestsClient stores a requests.Session in a thread-local variable (self._thread_local.session). This Session is created on first use but never closed, causing:

• ResourceWarning: unclosed <ssl.SSLSocket> on Python exit
• File descriptor leaks for long-running processes

Solution

Register atexit.register(self.close) in RequestsClient.__init__() to ensure the thread-local Session is properly closed when Python exits.

Changes

• stripe/_http_client.py:
  • Added import atexit
  • Added atexit.register(self.close) in RequestsClient.__init__

Testing

import stripe
stripe.api_key = "placeholder"
with contextlib.suppress(Exception):
    stripe.Account.list()
# Before fix: ResourceWarning about unclosed SSL socket
# After fix: No warning
