Hello, If I do something like this:
s = set() for i in xrange(1000000): s.add(i) while s: s.pop() gc.collect() the memory consumption of the process remains the same even after the pops. I checked the code (that's where I started from, really), and there's nothing in set.pop or set.remove that resizes the table. And it turns out that it's the same with dicts. Should something be done about it?
