Jim, can you test out this patch for the leak. It does away with tp_alloc
altogether and tp_new simply calls MpTable_New(). I think this should be okay.
I'll test it, but I may not get to it today. Tomorrow for sure though.
If your patch fixes this leak I think we should proceed with a dev
snapshot - a kind of 3.3.x alpha release. :)

Memory leak apache.table()
--------------------------
Key: MODPYTHON-184
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-184
Project: mod_python
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: 3.3, 3.2.10
Reporter: Jim Gallacher
Assigned To: Jim Gallacher
Fix For: 3.3
Attachments: MP184-2006-08-25-grahamd-1.diff
There is a memory leak in apache.table().
from mod_python import apache
def handler(req):
req.content_type = 'text/plain'
t = apache.make_table()
req.write('ok table:')
return apache.OK
Using mpm-worker with StartServers 2, and 20000 requests results in memory
consumption going from 1.2% to 9.3% per process. (ie approx 8k per request)
This will have an impact on FieldStorage which makes use of
apache.make_table(), which is the deprecated name for apache.table()
