profiling memory usage

[Eddie]

Hi,

I am looking for a method to profile memory usage in my python program.
The program provides web service and therefore is intended to run for a
long time. However, the memory usage tends to increase all the time,
until in a day or two the system cannot handle it any more and starts
to do constant swapping. Is there a way to look at which objects or
variables are taking the huge amount of memory space?

Thanks,

Eddie
