New submission from Stefan Sonnenberg-Carstens:
when running this script:
aList = []
for i in xrange(5E5):
aList += [[]]
for j in xrange(10):
aList[-1].append([])
del aList
It does not give back the memory
even a
import gc
gc.collect()
afterwards does not do it.
In Python 2.5 the memory is freed again correctly, at least under Windows.
The problem came up, because I was parsing a CSV file of 50 MB which
resulted in memory usage of more than 500 MB.
