Memory usage per top 10x usage per heapy

Hi all, I'm working on some code that parses a 500kb, 2M line file line by line and saves, per line, some derived strings into various data structures. I thus expect that memory use should monotonically increase. Currently, the program is taking up so much memory - even on 1/2 sized files - tha

python file API

For some time now, I've wanted to suggest a better abstraction for the type in Python. It currently uses an antiquated C-style interface for moving around in a file, with methods like tell() and seek(). But after attributes were introduced to Python, it seems it should be re-addressed. Let f
