New submission from Mirano Tuk:
There seems to be a memory leak in tkinter on OSX (Windows and Linux don't seem
to be affected). Explicitly calling Tk.update() sometimes permanently allocates
a multiple of 4096 bytes. Allocation happens more frequently if update calls
are in close succession.
import time
from tkinter import Tk
root = Tk()
while True:
root.update() # Huge memory leak
while True:
root.update() # No memory leaks
time.sleep(1)
Issue occurs on python3.3 and above, did not test on older versions.
