Ok, so now, I understand why it takes the memory: a list was created. My previous example can now be simplified to: sage: %%cython ....: def f(int N): ....: L = range(N) ....: del L ....: sage: f(10**8) # computation takes 40% of memory, 30% is not freed after computation Thanks to Volker, I can confirm that everything is ok after the garbage collector has done its job: sage: import gc sage: gc.collect() # the 30% of occupied memory gets freed 7 Thank you!
