I'm sorry for creating a wild goose chase. I misread the original post. The update to _subprocess.c only impacts Python < 2.4. Since Hardy ships 2.5.2, that patch should actually have no effect, though of course it's harmless.
I think we need a test case from the OP to determine the root cause of the leak he is experiencing and hopefully we can cherry-pick a patch from SVN sometime between 0.91.1 and 0.91.4 that resolves it. -- pylab.savefig() causes memory leak in matplotlib-0.91.2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
