I have this, very simple input filter

I would like to use an input filter for uploading large files.
I would expect that after each writing/reading, filter releases
memory.But instead memory
increases during reading/writing and no memory is released after
each reading/writing.
Is it a common feature that the filter during reading/writing does
NOT release memory and
memory increases until the whole file is uploaded?
Or is my presumption correct that the memory should be released
during each
reading/writing in the filter?
Thank you for help and reply.
Since I don't recollect you saying what version of mod_python you are
using, I would suggest you upgrade to mod_python 3.3.0b if you aren't
using it already. Once you have confirmed that you still have the
problem
with that version let us know. Also state which versions of Apache and
Python you are using at the same time.
For 3.3.0b see:
http://httpd.apache.org/modules/python-download.cgi
http://nicolas.lehuen.com/download/mod_python/
The latter has Windows binaries for various Apache/Python combos.
