Larry Bates [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Let's see for this I need to get out my crystal ball... 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. -Larry 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 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Donald 'Paddy' McCarthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote 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 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

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.
