--- Begin Message ---Package: python-inotifyx Version: all Severity: important Tags: upstream patch Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I'm using python-inotifyx to monitor a folder (and subfolders) for new files and noticed my application continue to grow in memory consumption (starts at 300kb and after an hour it's at 500MB and very slow) * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What outcome did you expect instead? I tracked it down to the inotifyx c-library not decreasing references after it passes the event on. the change is simple: --- inotifyx/binding.c 2011-07-09 20:45:10.000000000 +0000 +++ inotifyx/binding.c.new 2014-04-09 12:11:01.597888661 +0000 @@ -194,6 +194,7 @@ if(PyList_Append(retvalue, value) == -1) { return NULL; } + Py_DECREF(value); i += EVENT_SIZE + event->len; } * What was the outcome of this action? I've run this in production for months without memory growth or other issues. (application stays at <2MB memory usage) I've created a ticket on the projects launchpad page, but haven't received response for about a year so i guess the original maintainer has lost interest. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.8.13-999-generic (SMP w/32 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
