memory leak?

[Trevor Perrin]

Every time I run the below function from the interpreter, python.exe's
memory usage increases by 5 Megs and stays at this higher level
(python 2.3b2 on WinXP).  I tried to isolate this to something
simpler, but wasn't successful.

Is this a memory leak, or is there another explanation?


from array import *
import random

def test():    
    for x in range(10000):
        b = array('B', [random.randrange(0,256) for count in
range(64)])
