Thanks for your inputs !!!
I have installed python v 2.5 on my Linux machine and executing the
tool again.
I would like to share the memory status( using free -m command )
before and after the execution of the tool.
BEFORE EXECUTION
================
total used free shared
buffers cached
Mem: 1006 148 858 0
8 92
-/+ buffers/cache: 46 960
Swap: 2047 0 2047
AFTER EXECUTION
===============
total used free shared
buffers cached
Mem: 1006 940 66 0
49 846
-/+ buffers/cache: 44 962
Swap: 2047 0 2047
I am unable to find out why 66 MB system memory is left after tool
execution ? If python does not have memory leaks then where this
memory is going ?
the free you are looking at is not a good indication of 'actual
memory available' in linux.
the number you are intersted is this one:
-/+ buffers/cache: 46 960
vs
-/+ buffers/cache: 44 962
before execution you had 960 available for use by applications
after execution you had 962 available.
here is one of many pages explaining memory under linux:
