Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Feature Request Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Matusevich (markmat) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MemoryError with a lot of available memory - gc not called Initial Comment: Also the gc behavior is consistent with the documentation, I beleave it is wrong. I think, that Gc should be called automatically before any memory allocation is raised. Example 1: for i in range(700): a = [range(5000000)] a.append(a) print i This example will crash on any any PC with less then 20Gb RAM. On my PC (Windows 2000, 256Mb) it crashes at i==7. Also, this example can be fixed by addition of a call to gc.collect() in the loop, in real cases it may be unreasonable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1524938&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
