have made the following small test: Before starting my test my UsedPhysicalMemory(PF): 555Mb
>>>tf=range(0,10000000) PF: 710Mb ( so 155Mb for my List) >>> tf=[0,1,2,3,4,5] PF: 672Mb (Why? Why the remaining 117Mb is not >>> freed?) >>> del tf PF: 672Mb (unused memory not freed) So changing the list contents and/or deleting the list changes nothing...from a memory point of view. This is a problem as I have several applications/threads competing for memory share. (ie wxpython app). So how can I force Python to clean the memory and free the memory that is not used? PS: gc.collect() does nothing - To return memory I need to kill my process (ie the interpreter). Any ideas is welcome. Thanx Robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
