I'm having trouble with some python processes that are using 3GB+ of memory

This feels like the old "python high water mark" problem, but I thought that
was fixed in 2.6/3.0?
Under what circumstances can a Python process still exhibit high memory
usage that tools like heapy don't know about?
Which Python version are you experiencing this with? I know that in
Python 2.7, having many floats (and I think also ints) active at once
creates a high water situation. Python 2.7 is what I have experience
with -- with heap sizes around 40 GB sometimes.
Python 2.7.5 on RHEL 7.1.
