Memory leak in Python

[Serge Orlov]

I ran simulation for 128 nodes and used the following

oo = gc.get_objects()
print len(oo)

on every time step the number of objects are increasing. For 128 nodes
I had 1058177 objects.

I think I need to revisit the code and remove the references....but how
to do that. I am still a newbie coder and every help will be greatly
appreciated.

The next step is to find out what type of objects contributes to the
growth most of all, after that print several object of that type that
didn't exist on iteration N-1 but exist on iteration N

Either of it would do, I am creating a discrete time simulator.

Shame you aren't on Windows, as Python Memory Validator does all of
this.

after that print several object of that type that
didn't exist on iteration N-1 but exist on iteration N

And this, but for garbage collection generations.
