Hi Paul, I have it running for more than 1 hour... the main application software runs for about 50 days non stops and the memory just keep growing... I have a pdu.py class which has about 130 methods that's been created on the fly. If you substitute the above code of PDU() init with the pdu class from pdu.py, I see a dramatic increase in RAM in python 2.4.4! But not in version 2.5.1. So I upgraded to the latest version... I still see the main application uses more and more memory as the time goes by... What should I do next? Can I force garbage collection manually? If so, how do I do that? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
