Hello developers,I noticed my application was growing strangely while I was using type, then I tried this:

while True: type('A',(),{})

and saw memory filling up.Is there a clean solution to that? I see it as a bug in python engeneering,that is why I wrote to you.

Python bugs should be reported on SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470

Please specify the Python version and OS. I do not see memory growth running the above under Python 2.3.5 or 2.4.1 on Windows, so I don't have any evidence of a bug here in the Pythons I usually use.

Sorry, the growth happens using ipython shell.With python original shell there is nothing wrong.
