I am looking for a method to profile memory usage in my python program. The program provides web service and therefore is intended to run for a long time. However, the memory usage tends to increase all the time, until in a day or two the system cannot handle it any more and starts to do constant swapping. Is there a way to look at which objects or variables are taking the huge amount of memory space?

The latest Python release 2.5 includes improvements to the memory manager and *may* work better for you, it all depends on the root cause of the problem. For more details, see the 5th bullet on this page <http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/ports.html>.
