In pure curiosity I tried to compile loop.c from Demo/embed and started it with 'print 2+2'. It seems, that both 2.3 and 2.4 pythons have memory leaks in Py_Initialize/Py_Finalize calls. (That is, interpreter doesn't clean up well after itself).
This is my setup: gcc -fpic loop.c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -lm -lpython2.4 \ -lpthread -lutil -ldl \ -I/usr/local/include/python2.4 \ -L/usr/local/lib/python2.4/config \ -o looptest (It's on Linux RedHat 7.3) I do not know if this is of any importance though. Probably it is for embedded Python uses. Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] =\= My AI powered by GNU/Linux RedHat 7.3 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
