There are many possible solutions to this problem.
Personally, I think mine is the simplest, though it changes the API.
However, there have been several suggestions on simple fixes that don't change
the API, all of which fix the resource leak.
Doing no

I have a program which calls filecmp.cmp a lot.
It runs out of memory.
I read the source to filecmp, and then I periodically set
filecmp._cache = {}
Without doing this, filecmp's cache uses up all the memory in the computer.
There needs to be a docum

I compiled python 3.0 on a cygwin platform.
Here is my modest function:
def List_to_String(lis):
#return str.join(lis, '') # This is fast, but seems broke in 3.0

Thanks.
I want to learn what is wrong with the code I have though.
My main goal is to understand python 3.0 better, rather than
fixing a specific problem.

Yes, it was
import string
string.join(lis, '')
I am still a bit confused though.
Why doesn't my code of str.join(lis, '') work?
I don't think str is a reserved word.
I suppose that python might be able

I fixed the code as follows:
return str.join('',lis)
I think it is readable, and I understand it.
Thanks everyone for clarifying everything

I have a program that needs to output binary data to stdout.
I don't want to convert it to a string.
for example something like
sys.stdout.write('0o377')
to write a byte with all the bits turned on.
When I try this

I don't consider sys.stdout.buffer.write(b'abc')
to be an acceptable solution. There are many programs that need
to produce binary output with standard output. Consider uudecode
and similar programs.

I want to make my own data of types bytes in order to write it out.
For example, I want to write out the bytes 0..9

In order to compile 3.1.1 with the cygwin environment, it was necessary
to edit Modules/main.c after running configure
There are a few tests that still fail when running 'make test', but
overall, python 3.1.1 works fine.
