New submission from Mathias <m...@mmmi.sdu.dk>:
Hi, I think there is an issue with memory allocating with threading.Timer in 3.8.0/3.8.1. When I run the attached code in Python 3.7.3 I get a memory consumption of approx. 10 MB. If I run the same code with python 3.8.0 or 3.8.1, it keeps consuming memory (several hundreds of MB). I've attached 3 images where I run the attached script under mprof. By inspect of the output from tracemalloc, I can see that /usr/lib/python3.8/threading.py:908 keeps allocating memory. I have tested this with python 3.8.0 from ubuntu 16.04 repository and python 3.8.1 from source. Both versions suffers from the memory consumption issue. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: images_code.tar messages: 359239 nosy: mneerup priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Threading.timer leaks memory in 3.8.0/3.8.1 versions: Python 3.8 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48825/images_code.tar _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39201> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
