[Xapian-discuss] File descriptor leak (?) in Python

Hi all,

Recently I have upgraded a Python application from Xapian 1.0.7 to
1.2.2 in order to use the PostingSource class. It is a long-running
process, and I am seeing the number of open file descriptors to the
Xapian database steadily increase. I suspect what I am seeing is some
kind of resource leak.

I have no idea if it is a problem in our code or in the Xapian Python
bindings. How do I debug this problem?

Regards,
Joost
