Dear all,
I ran into a memory problem when trying to draw a few hundred png files
using one imshow per file. The problem can be boiled down to the
attached code which eats my memory very quickly until Python bombs out.
I tried to del objects after their use, looked for garbage and read
the user manual, but no luck. Did I do anything wrong or is this a
memory leak?
Cheers,
Leif
# discovered odd behaviour in relation to the imshow function
# memory usage will go up quickly until the runtime breaks
# watch it with the task manager

Python 2.5.1
from pylab import *
import gc
for i in range (1000):
A=rand(1024,1024)
im = imshow(A)
#del A #doesn't help
#del im #doesn't help
#print gc.garbage # no garbage
