On ubuntu, python 2.5.2. The memory usage of following program is increasing infinitly. There may be something leaking. However, it only consumes constant memory on windows (python 2.5.2). import bsddb d = bsddb.hashopen('a.db', 'c') d.close() while True: d = bsddb.hashopen('a.db') d.close()
Python 2.5 is in security maintenance mode only. Please, upgrade to Python 2.6. If you can not upgrade Python, install a recent bsddb release from http://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm If you can still reproduce the problem, let me know.
I can confirm it in trunk and release26-maint on Ubuntu 8.04. For trunk: bsddb.__version__ : '4.7.3' libdb4.6-dev: 4.6.21-6ubuntu1 _bsddb.version(): (4, 6, 21) bsddb._bsddb.cvsid: '$Id: _bsddb.c 66568 2008-09-23 18:54:08Z jesus.cea $'
I can *not* reproduce the problem with Python 2.6 (with its stock bsddb version) and Berkeley DB 4.7.25 (the current one). I can reproduce the issue if I use Berkeley DB 4.6.21. Seems to be a (solved) problem in the library. Berkeley DB 4.7.25 is known to solve a few memory leaks: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/changelog/4.7.html I mark the bug as "closed" and "out of date" because it is no something we can solve and it is already resolved in BDB 4.7.25, published a year ago. Moreover, any serious usage of Berkeley DB "demands" a recent version of the library.
