Can you please elaborate this further? I don't see such behavior in this snippet. >>> l [10, 20, 30] >>> sys.getsizeof(l) 104 >>> l[0] = None >>> import gc >>> gc.collect() 0 >>> sys.getsizeof(l) 104 >>> l[0] = range(1000) >>> sys.getsizeof(l) 104 >>> l[0] = None >>> gc.collect() 0 >>> sys.getsizeof(l) 104 -- Senthil _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
