Hi all,
I am running a python script which parses nearly 22,000 html files
locally stored using BeautifulSoup.
The problem is the memory usage linearly increases as the files are
being parsed.
When the script has crossed parsing 200 files or so, it consumes all the
available RAM and The CPU usage comes down to 0% (may be due to
excessive paging).
I have to guess that you are somehow holding on to data associated with
each file.
We tried 'del soup_object' and used 'gc.collect()'. But, no improvement.
'del ob' only deletes the association between name 'ob' and the object
it was associated with. The object itself cannot disappear until all
associations are gone.
gc.collect only deletes circularly associated objects that collectively
are isolated.
