I tried the test script on linux using matplotlib svn trunk rev8840 (which appears to include your patch) and found a leak that starts out small but gets systematically larger. This is with Python 2.6.5 and Tkinter built against Tcl/Tk 8.4.13.
Is anyone else seeing this? time rss memory mem/sec (sec) (kb) (kb/sec) 0.0 36816 nan 5.0 36860 nan 10.0 36860 0.0 15.1 36860 0.0 20.1 36860 0.0 25.1 36896 1.8 ... 326.5 36896 0.1 331.6 36972 0.3 ... 401.9 36972 0.3 406.9 36980 0.3 411.9 37004 0.4 417.0 37016 0.4 422.0 37040 0.4 427.0 37052 0.5 432.0 37076 0.5 437.1 37088 0.5 442.1 37112 0.6 447.1 37124 0.6 452.1 37148 0.6 457.2 37160 0.7 462.2 37184 0.7 467.2 37196 0.7 472.2 37220 0.8 477.3 37232 0.8 482.3 37256 0.8 487.3 37268 0.8 492.3 37292 0.9 497.3 37304 0.9 502.3 37328 0.9 507.4 37340 1.0 512.4 37360 1.0 517.4 37376 1.0 522.4 37396 1.0 527.5 37412 1.1 532.5 37432 1.1 537.5 37448 1.1 542.5 37472 1.1 547.6 37488 1.2 552.6 37504 1.2 557.6 37516 1.2 562.6 37540 1.2 567.6 37556 1.2 572.7 37576 1.3 577.7 37592 1.3 582.7 37612 1.3 587.7 37628 1.3 592.7 37648 1.3 597.8 37664 1.4 602.8 37684 1.4 607.8 37700 1.4 This is different behavior than on Mac OS X, but still alarming. -- Russell In article <4d07a8a0.5000...@stsci.edu>, Michael Droettboom <md...@stsci.edu> wrote: > If you're able to try this with the 1.0.x SVN branch or the SVN trunk > (plus my text patch) let me know.
