Haha. I was just writing you about manual garbage collector invocations. Manual collections can be costly, nevertheless. Since the manual collector is only needed to free cyclic references, I guess that Twisted people would rather prefer a patch to break cyclic references in Twisted code. For example, using "__del__" methods or "weakref". You can easily see what objects and references keep the cycles alive using "gc.garbage" and "gc.get_referrers()". Usually a single "a.value=None" can do miracles :-). Weakref can be very very helpful, also. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-gc.html http://docs.python.org/lib/module-weakref.html Merry Christmas and happy 2006, by the way. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea@argo.es http://www.argo.es/~jcea/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ PGP Key Available at KeyServ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQ7Cmzplgi5GaxT1NAQJndAP/YQNK/wHcBWIBfybJEeMyyaCJ+nxNsOXo XYZ/L0znLwnUY2enpwQ9GWDb1N1JlSRGyBs19EVXsu1kl9XuCxKjO+Qc2wuZE8La kspNJu9ZEHTVn8hNhgoZkFsKmed8g2zvP8HmlFD1ZEdXJ3+nuzmf2AjcsBHUkFl8 Aqe1+xrIp+Q= =Cobp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
