hi all:
test.py
#!/usr/bin/python
a = []
for i in xrange(1000000):
a.append('a'*500)
$python -i test.py #virt mem 514m in top output
del a #virt mem 510m
why python cache these string?
In source, I see when object size > SMALL_REQUEST_THRESHOLD, python
would use malloc.
also use free() when string refcount == 0.
do I miss somethong?
