Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: Most builtin modules keep static references to common objects: exceptions, types, &co. These references are currently never freed, but are reused by all sub-interpreters. It the memory usage stays stable, even after many calls to Py_NewInterpreter()/Py

New submission from Swapnil Talekar : In the attached program, the total memory consumption of the process, goes up each time a new subinterpreter imports a bunch of modules. When the subinterpreter is shutdown with Py_EndInterpreter, the memory consumed with import of modules is not returned
