Hi Massimo, I haven't been able to isolate the reason for our memory leak other than having it be triggered when encountering an unknown page (i.e. 404 page). The investigation continues and will definitely keep you posted, especially if the problem is with web2py and not our own application code.
Curious though.. for the memory leaks that you have found in the past, what is your process like to track them down? Do you have a preferred python memory profiler that you use, etc.. ? I'm currently looking into the use of Heapy and/or objgraph but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask you before I dive deeper. Thanks, Aurelio ps If this is now way off topic for this thread, happy to repost the question as a new topic. Please, just let me know.
