memory leak?

[Mauricio Wittenberg]

Hi, I've been running a few short tests (60s - 120s) and everything was looking OK. But when I tried running the same test for a much longer time, I realized that multi-mechanize was eating up all of my RAM (4GB).

Even if I just run a test like this:

class Transaction(object):

    def __init__(self):

        self.custom_timers = {}

        

    def run(self):

        assert (True)

with just one group and one thread, it ends up using up all of the memory.

Am I doing something wrong like not freeing memory or something like that?

Thanks,

Hello,

I do not think multi-mechanize consumes a lot of Memory.
I ran a python script with 20threads for >5mins and the Memory usage was just not more than 2% (of 4GB Physical memory).

Thanks for your reply,

Could you post your script to test it in my system and see what happens?

Assign valid host names and port numbers in the below script>
The server where you are connecting to should have a port open for incoming connections.

#Python Script to establish TCP sockets and send data
import socket
import time

sock_array=[]
class Transaction(object):
        def run(self):
               
                #Initialise Variables
                host = 'XXX.XXX.com'
                port = 1234
                src = ''
                no_of_sockets = 10      
                message="XXX"

                #Create Socket
                while no_of_sockets !=0:
                        try:                              

                                s = socket.create_connection((host,port),10,(src,0))
                        except Exception, e:
                                print "Exception: "+str(e)
                        sock_array.append(s)
                        print sock_array
                        no_of_sockets-=1

                        #Send Message
                        remote_ip = socket.gethostbyname(host)
                        print 'Socket Connected to ' + host + ' on ip ' + remote_ip
                        s.sendall(message)
                        print 'Message send successfully'

                        reply = s.recv(4096)
                        if reply=="":
                            print "no response"
                        print reply
                 time.sleep(120)

if __name__ == '__main__':
        trans= Transaction()
        trans.run()


Thanks!
