[New-bugs-announce] [issue40630] tracemalloc: allow resetting peak memory metric without touching other traces

[Huon Wilson]

New submission from Huon Wilson <wilson.huon at gmail.com>:

Per https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/QDWI37A4TJXOYUKULGPY2GKD7IG2JNDC/ , it would be helpful to have a function that resets the peak memory usage of the tracemalloc module, without changing all the traces.

This allows for recording the peak memory usage of a specific region of code, rather than only the peak since the last tracemalloc.start() or tracemalloc.clear_traces() call.
