I've embedded python in an application which has a .NET API. So users can write scripts in python that access the .NET API. Because of the way the API works running scripts is a 2 stage process. First you select a script from a list then run the selected script. All scripts must therefore share a common calling function name and I wanted to test this function existed. I will have no idea the name or how many or how complicated the scripts will be so it seemed a good idea to try and free up memory from the scripts that won't be run. >(It's hard to judge a poster's level of expertise in Python without any example >code from him. I'm not a professional programmer so my terminology is probably confusing.It looks like I shouldn't worry about memory issues.
