Hello, I'm using the latest released comtypes version (0.6.1). I have a long running python process that creates and releases a com object also written in python. I noticed that this causes a memory leak. This does not occur if I perform the same operations on a com object written in C++.
Below is code for the python com server (inproc) and also the test app. To reproduce: 1. Open task manager 2. python testcomsrver.py -regserver 3. python testcom.py 4. Notice process continues to grow in size... I'm using ActiveState Python v2.5.4 on 32bit Win7. -mike testcomsrver.py =========== import comtypes import comtypes.server import comtypes.server.connectionpoints from comtypes import CoClass, GUID class TestComServer(CoClass): _reg_clsid_ = GUID('{BCCF36F6-4310-4953-B357-0B358BAE2DF1}') _reg_threading_ = "Both" _reg_progid_ = "TestComServer.Testing.1" _reg_novers_progid_ = "TestComServer.Testing" _reg_desc_ = "Memoryleak testing" _reg_clsctx_ = comtypes.CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER _com_interfaces_ = [comtypes.typeinfo.IProvideClassInfo2, comtypes.errorinfo.ISupportErrorInfo, comtypes.connectionpoints.IConnectionPointContainer] if __name__ == "__main__": try: from comtypes.server.register import UseCommandLine UseCommandLine(TestComServer) except Exception: import traceback traceback.print_exc() raw_input() # end testcom.py ======== import comtypes from comtypes.client import CreateObject import gc while True: obj = CreateObject("TestComServer.Testing") obj.Release() obj = None gc.collect() # end ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
