[Numpy-discussion] Memory leak in numpy?

[Joseph McGlinchy]

Unfortunately I do not have Linux or much time to invest in researching and learning an alternative to Valgrind :/

My current workaround, which works very well, is to move my scipy part of the script to its own script and then use os.system() to call it with the appropriate arguments.


Thanks everyone for the replies! Is there a proper way to close the thread?

depending on how long the program runs you can try running it under massif the valgrind memory usage proftool, that should give you a good clue where the source is.
