Hi Peter, First of all, I apologize for taking so long looking into this.
I think I know what the problem is. In prog_filter.py, you are doing the following: outputBlock = inputBlock.NewInstance() Due to some issues in VTK's reference counting and the way it interacts with Python, this causes a memory leak and outputBlock is never released. Try this: outputBlock = inputBlock.NewInstance() outputBlock.UnRegister(None) instead. I bet you this will fix the memory problem. I will investigate how we can solve this problem in VTK in the future. -berk On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 4:48 PM, Peter Brady<petertbr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I have some reasonable sized data sets (256x256x512) that I'm using > paraview to do some postprocessing on via a python script.
