[Zope] My Zope is leaking memory ... Still no luck. (PythonSc ript bug)

[Jean-Francois.Doyon@CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca]

Dieter,

I most definitely use Python 2.1.3 ...

I however AM using 2.5.0 ... A bit old I know, I'm about to start working on
upgrading when 2.6.1 comes out ...

Are there specific bugs in 2.5.0 that could be causing this behavior? I
vaguely recall looking at the Change Log and Collector, but not finding much
about any kind of memory leak ...

For now I AM going to try and remove any use I make of REQUEST.set, see if
that helps ...

Thanks!
J.F.

Are you sure, you use Python 2.1.3 and at least Zope 2.4.4 or 2.5.1?

If you do, I would be very astonished when explicit clearing of
Python script variables were still necessary. (We do not clear
any Python script variables and do not see disturbing leaks).
