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

[Joost Cassee]

Hi all,

Finally, I think I have isolated the memory leak. Objects like
MatchDeciders or PostingSources are not garbage collected after having
been used in a search. I have attached a test case for MatchDecider as
xapian-testcase7.py. It uses the great objgraph module [1] by Marius
Gedminas.

[1] http://mg.pov.lt/objgraph/

The test case ends with a list containing a TestMatchDecider that
should have been garbage collected. The 'objects.png' shows the object
graph.

Regards,
Joost
