Title Body

I realized there is a memory leak in one python script. Which occupied around 25MB first, and after 15 days it is more than 500 MB. I followed many different ways, and not able to get into the root of the problem as am a python newbie... Finally, I got this following objgraph.show_most_common_types(limit=20) tuple 37674 function 9156 dict 3935 list 1646 wrapper_descriptor 1468 weakref 888 builtin_function_or_method 874 classobj 684 method_descriptor 551 type 533 instance 483 Kind 470 getset_descriptor 404 ImmNodeSet 362 module 342 IdentitySetMulti 333 PartRow 331 member_descriptor 264 cell 185 FontEntry 170 I set a break point, and after every iteration this is what is happening... objgraph.show_growth() tuple 37674 +10 What is the best way to proceed ? (Pdb) c (Pdb) objgraph.show_growth() tuple 37684 +10 I guess printing out all the tuples, and cross checking -- what this 10 tuple gets added everytime will give me some clue ? Kindly let me know how to do that.. Or is there any other way to find out this memory leak. Am using python 2.4.3, and because of many other product dependencies - Unfortunately i cannot / should not upgrade.
