Message108545
I don't know whether this is a bug, but my exhaustive search led me to "Python can't really unload modules" from every direction, which I find hard to believe, I don't know where else to go with this.
The problem:
import gc, sys
print len(gc.get_objects()) # 4073
# starting with 4073 objects in memory
import httplib
del sys.modules["httplib"]
del httplib
# httplib should be unloaded
# and garbage collected as it is unreachable
gc.collect()
print len(gc.get_objects()) # 6745
# 6745 objects in memory (2000+ stray objects)
This applies to almost any module.
Is this a bug or somehow correctable? |
