Subject: Memory Monitor / WindowsNT From: "Thomas M. hazel" To: guido@cwi.nl Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 08:38:49 -0400 (EDT) Guido, [...] We have encountered memory leaks ( this is probably due to the fact that we have not yet up-graded to python-1.2, but I have made the push ). Therefore myself and two others have made a tool to monitor memory within the python interpreter. For example when an object is added to the python listobject we monitor it until it is deallocated, placing a function-call in the constructing of the python listobject and the deallocation of the python listobject. This helps monitor extremely large lists and dictionaries of upwards of thousands of items. My manager has asked that I mail you the PY and C++ source of this tool so that within your busy schedule you might try and develop something similar in C for all to enjoy in the standard build. We here at CableTron Systems believe it would help monitor leaks in python code and everyone's built-in modules. [...] Thank you for your time.
