The repository is now on github, so if you want the very latest, you should get it from here:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib

(We haven't done a terribly good job of advertising that change).

I'm not seeing any leak myself with your script with matplotlib HEAD plus this pull request:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/89

so we may be getting to the bottom of this type of leak.

I have now tested this with version 1.1.0svn from the trunk of the dev repository. I believe this version contains Michael Droettboo's patch for pyCXX.

Unfortunately the leak is still evident in the small script I've attached. Again, please note that this script has no axes, plots, or drawn components, only an empty canvas that is being redrawn and causes the memory growth.

Any ideas how to resolve this or further debug this?

Thanks for your help,
Oren

    I'm having a memory leakage using matplotlib 1.0.1 with wx
    2.8.11.0, on windows XP.

    To reproduce, I used the sample from here:
    
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/animation/dynamic_image_wxagg2.html
    and deleted most of the significant lines (see below). I only
    create a canvas but I don't create any axes, nor plot any data.
    The only thing I do is draw() on a timer event. This makes my
    process grow about 6Mbyte per minute.

    Is this reproduced in other environments? Any ideas on how to
    resolve this?

    Thanks,
    Oren
