Hi, I am starting to have a look to a python program that does not free
memory (I am using python 2.4.3). As I have read about a new memory
management in python 2.5 (http://evanjones.ca/python-memory.html) I
decided to try the program with the new version.
With the new version of python the memory consumption is the same. Now
I am asking myself if python 2.5 has any improving in memory
management or maybe not yet. Thank you.
In previous versions Python collected memory, but never released it
again. It simply kept on to it, so it could reuse it again later.
From 2.5 onwards it should release most of the unused memory. However
it doesn't use less memory. The peak memory usage should be the same as
before. So for one-off programs that starts up and runs once, there
should not be much gain.
