Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: ken668 (ken668) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Memory leak in the email package Initial Comment: memory leak in email.message_from_string. This is what I did to create a leak. You used the attached file, memleak.eml. f = open("memleak.eml") buffer = f.read() f.close() # now buffer has the email string msg = email.message_from_string(buffer) msg = None # this should free the memory but it doesn't # The memory that is used in msg is not completely free ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1376775&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
