kai zhu <kai...@ugcs.caltech.edu> added the comment: explicit gc.collect() doesn't seem to fix the leak in my application. my current fix is to not re-instantiate the class attribute (which cost ~7mb) during reload & instead reference one created earlier.
i haven't pinpointed y, but i suspect its a corner case, which would rarely occur in general usage. my class also inherits from subprocess.Popen, which has a __del__ method, which might interfere w/ collection (although gc.garbage says otherwise ;). the reason i reload is that the script gets modified frequently, which the auto-build system will detect & reload. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12075> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
