Garbage Collection (GC Module)

[zhu_dave]

Hi,

I use the following code to get some stats about memory usage:

objs = gc.get_objects()
classes = len([obj for obj in objs if inspect.isclass(obj)])
functions = len([obj for obj in objs if inspect.isroutine(obj)])
modules = len([obj for obj in objs if inspect.ismodule(obj)])
dicts = len([obj for obj in objs if type(obj) == types.DictType])
lists = len([obj for obj in objs if type(obj) == types.ListType])
tuples = len([obj for obj in objs if type(obj) == types.TupleType])

For a simple program, which just prints values of a dict object, I get the following:

Objects: 2920
Modules: 36
Classes: 74
Functions: 1057
Dictionaries: 193
Lists: 49
Tuples: 1419

Are there that many objects/functions/etc. used by my simple program? How? Why?

Thanks.
