Yes, but probably you should not worry about it, just a few bytes per entry. Why don't you use an actual database? sqlite is fast, lightweight, and comes with Python 2.5 >> > # add row i and increment number of rows >> > self.rows.append(DBRow(self, self.nRows)) >> > self.nRows += 1 This looks suspicious, and may indicate that your structure contains cycles, and Python cannot always recall memory from those cycles, and you end using much more memory than needed. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
