STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: I wrote a patch to support <traceback object>.tb_frame=None. It works but the traceback becomes useless because you have unable to display the traceback. The frame is used by tb_printinternal() to get the filename (co_filename) and the code name (co_name).
I also tried: while tbi: frame = tbi.tb_frame tbi = tbi.tb_next frame.f_locals.clear() frame.f_globals.clear() ... and it doesn't work because the tbi variable is also removed! A traceback object have to contain the full frame, but the frame contains "big" objects eating your memory. A solution to your initial problem (store exceptions) is to not store the traceback object or at least to store it as a (list of) string. Solution already proposed by loewis (msg29999). _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1565525> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
