I'm producing series of plots (spectograms) in a program loop using imshow 
and saving each plot to .png.  Even though I close() each plot after each 
savefig(...), the memory does not appear to be freed up, and the memory 
useage goes up and up as the program runs (and stalls the computer as it 
thrashes the page file).

This is the essence of the code:

for i in range(..):
    pylab.imshow(logPSDs[i]...)
    pylab.colorbar()
    pylab.savefig(plotName[i])
    pylab.close()

Is there anything that I should be doing to stop this memory "wastage"? 
(The plots themselves are fantastic!)
