 Maybe delegating the actual processing to an external python
 process you feed through the macro might work.

Thanks for the idea. I'll check it out soon and will report
about possible improvements.

 If it is a commercial application, you should contact their tech
 support for a solution.  The problem isn't specifically a Python
 problem but rather an implementation problem with their app.

Well one part of the problem maybe really is on the side of this
tool. Because the implementation of the macro functionality is
really crappy. But unfortunately there are no competitive-product
we could switch too, so we have to live with this poor environment.

But I don't think that the WHOLE problem lies inside this tool.
Because I read

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-January/051255.html
and
http://evanjones.ca/python-memory.html

Sadly we can't switch from Python 2.4 to 2.5 because this stupid
macro functionality only supports 2.4.x

I really know that all this is not the best setup to get happy with
but there really is no other setup available.

So I'm happy for every input all of you can give me.

greetings,
tim

 Could you split the program into one handling the outer loop and
 calling another program, with data transfer, to handle the inner
 loops?
 
 - Paddy.

I'm afraid this isn't possible, because the python macro is called
and started from within our commercial tool which leads to the
cirumstance that this tool eats up more and more memory.

Due to the fact that there is no way we can start the tool via
commandline giving an argument that tells the tool it has to
start macroXY.py after startup I don't see a way to lower the
memory usage by splitting it up in two loops.

thanks for all your help so far,
tim

  was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:
 python.org = 194.109.137.226
 
 194 + 109 + 137 + 226 = 666
 
 What is this website with such a demonic name and IP address?  What
 evils are the programmers who use this language up to?

Writing code that has to be indented *exactly* or it just won't
work. I bet they all use eVIl VI too.
