Rohan D'Sa <roh4n....@gmail.com> added the comment: you are right. i realized later i actually had a leak in a com instantiated object, assumed it was a leak in the python and tried to find it using the gc module.
The gc documentation led me down the garden path. QUOTE gc.garbage A list of objects which the collector found to be unreachable but could not be freed (uncollectable objects). UNQUOTE i assumed: - cyclic references are unreachable but can be freed and hence collectable. - __del__ finalizer (with cyclic references?) objects are unreachable and cannot be freed and hence uncollectable. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32045> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
