Hi I'm having an issue that is probably obvious to somebody here but its baffling me..
I'm using python (2.5.1) on an embedded linux sytem system (kernel 2.6.19 I think) with only 32MB memory (for an art project). My python code runs nicely when launched manually from a login shell, ps shows its using 11MB or so of memory. However, when I try to launch the same code from a startup script, it uses over 22MB and the system grinds to a halt. Specifically its calling a speech synthesis program (flite) from the os.system() function, which requires 4-5MB, and this doesnt work from the startup script. Why would python use twice as much memory when launched from a startup script? Could it be related to the use of the os.system() function? Thanks in advance, Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
