[Numpy-discussion] Memory leak in ndarray

[Robert Crida]

Hi all

I seem to have tracked down a memory leak in the string conversion mechanism
of numpy. It is demonstrated using the following code:

import numpy as np

a = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
while True:
    b = str(a)

What happens above is that is repeatedly converted to a string. The process
size grow quite rapidly.

Has anyone else come across this? Where do I look to try to correct it?

Thanks
Robert
