Even better, if you know that you're *creating* tons of objects without creating many *discardable* cycles at the same, it's better to turn off GC collection during loading, and only do a single pass (gc.collect()) when you are done with the allocations. -- Giovanni Bajo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
