Guppy is a extremely powerful tool because it can also track non GC objects without a debug build of Python. I only wished it would have a user friendly and easy to script interface. The _.more thing is killing me. :( I'm using a very simple and almost for free approach to keep track of memory usage with psutil. After every unit test case I store RSS and VM size with psutil.Process(os.getpid()).get_memory_info(), threading.active_count(), len(gc.garbage) and len(gc.get_objects()). It doesn't show what's going wrong, but it helps me to isolate the code paths, that may introduce memory leaks and reference cycles. Since we use continuous integration (Jenkins) I can track down regressions more easily, too. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
