Hi, I just found a neat trick to free up an emergency stash of memory in a funtion that overrides sys.excepthook. The rationale is that all exceptions, including MemoryErrors will be logged. The code is below. My question: is that memory *guaranteed* to be freed right after the 'del' statement? Or should one call gc.collect to be really sure?
rainydayfund = [[] for x in xrange(16*1024)] # or however much you need def handle_exception(e): global rainydayfund del rainydayfund ... etc, etc ... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1235349/python-how-can-i-handle-any-unhandled-exception-in-an-alternative-way Thanks!
