I have the same problem. I tried the del command below, but foundon that it removes the names of the ndarrays from memory, but does not free up the memory on my XP system (python 2.5.2, numpy 1.2.1). Regular python objects release their memory when I use the del command, but it looks like the ndarray objects do not.
It's not guaranteed that the regular Python objects return memory to the OS, either. The memory should be reused when Python allocates new memory, though, so I suspect that this is not the problem that Frank is seeing. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
