They are fixable but requires a lot of time to find and fix it, in the meanwhile your program is leaking. It's a trade-off. > I've also been told that python > never releases memory back to the system, though that ought to be > fixable. No, the GC of Python releases and objetos are not in use anymore. Only in a very few situations this doesn't happens. About memory usage, it's possible to setup GC to release memory more often than the default.
