Hmmm, I thought I got rid of all the memory leaks.  I have to admit,
neither Sean Hummel (who origionally wrote it) or I (cleaned up a bunch of
memory leaks) have much experience writing Python modules.  There's also
the  problem that there is almost no documentation on the C interface to
executing Applescript.  I usually give about 15-25 MB of memory to my
Python scripts, and I havn't noticed a problem, but I also havn't looked
very hard. 

Regards,
Jay Painter
