I am using the array module to instantiate many arrays in my application. It seems like there is a memory leak in there somewhere. Can anyone confim this and let me know what, if anything, I can do about it? I am using Fedora Core 5 Linux:
import commands import array import itertools import sys from itertools import repeat print '*** before ***' print commands.getoutput('cat /proc/meminfo').split('\n')[1] for i in range(100): a = array.array('I', repeat(0, int(2E6))) del a print '*** after ***' print commands.getoutput('cat /proc/meminfo').split('\n')[1] Output: *** before *** MemFree: 1459772 kB *** after *** MemFree: 1457688 kB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
