I'm not sure what you mean with "real memory" or how precise you want that measurement to be, but you could try http://www.selenic.com/smem/ (and, within Python, re-use smem's concepts, which shouldn't be too difficult) > And how much of that heap space is allocated to variables ( > including re-capturable data not yet GC'd ) ? Again, not sure what you mean with "allocated to variables" (global variables? local variables? everything?). As for "re-capturable data not yet GC'd", the best way to figure out is to run gc.collect() :-) Regards Antoine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
