The normal python way would be to set the object for destruction after
it is no longer used.
However, it may well be possible that the GIMP bindings to python are
not deleting GIMP images creted from within python, as it should be
done.
I had, myself, never thought of using a script o create so many
images.
As you rerro r mesage is "no space left on device" - please try to
cehck gimp preferences for tmp dirs, maybe it is using another
partition that might be getting filled.
The increaseof RAM usage for itself however shows there is something
wrong going on - could you please fill a bug report about this at
bugzilla.gnome.org ?
If possible, please attach a minimalistic version of your script taht
would trigger the problem.
Thank you,
