Bill Janssen <bill.jans...@gmail.com> added the comment: I've now been able to build my installer.
I applied Travis Oliphant's patch from http://bugs.python.org/issue2399 to Lib/msilib/__init__.py, then added a __del__ method to the Directory class: def __del__(self): if self._numfiles_wo_commit > 0: self.db.Commit() self.db = None self.keyfiles = None self.cab = None self.ids = None This seems to release enough memory that I can deal with a larger number of files. I don't think there's a good way to write a unit test for this, though. Success or failure will depend on the machine you're running it on, I think. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8552> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
