There might be a bug in numpy. It's unlikely that the bug is in Python. Let's bring it over to numpy-discussion. What version of numpy are you using? Can you give us a complete example that demonstrates the leak? -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
