Hi.

I am embedding Python into a .NET (C#) application. For the purpose of this 
discussion my code is
like the example given here:
https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet#example
(except that I am working with arrays of a substantial size).

Each of the "dynamic" variables created in that example are of the .NET type 
PyObject, which is
a disposable type. The code in the example does not call Dispose() on these 
objects and it would
indeed be very inconvenient to do so.

Whats the best practice here and what considerations went into this design? Can 
we expect that
the only unmanged resources held by PyObject's are unmanaged memory? (Unless, 
of course, the
PyObject represents a system resource like a file or network stream).

Has it been considered to use GC.AddMemoryPressure when PyObjects are backed by 
a large
amount of unmanaged memory?


Thanks,
Thomas Lundgaard Hansen
