Yes, the memory increase is in proportion with the size of the text.
But it is more likely to be an error in my understanding than a pygobject or gtk bug – this is usually the case… Regards, Colin From: Gergely Polonkai [mailto:gerg...@polonkai.eu] Sent: 02 January 2015 08:18 To: Colin Myers Cc: gtk-app Subject: Re: Pygobject memory leak in set_property? Hello, How big is the memory increase? set_text() allocates memory for text, which might be the cause.

Similarly I found this leaks: label = Gtk.Label() text = 'Hello world' while True: label.set_property('label', text) But this does not: label = Gtk.Label() text = 'Hello world' while True: label.set_text(text) I feel like I am missing something obvious, please help!
