No need to worry, since Python features automatic memory management this will be cleaned up as part of the normal garbage collection routines. > 2.

If you're using Apache you could use the LimitRequestBody directive (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#limitrequestbody). hth, Jonathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
