[pylucene-dev] momery leak with PythonThread

[Yura Smolsky]

Hello ALL.

I have following program. It should starts threads and then frees
them. When I use for this task threading.Thread then there are not
leaks here. When I use PyLucene.PythonThread then I got very noticeable
memory leak.
PyLucene is last from trunk. Python is 2.4.2. Tested on winXP and debian systems.

#!/usr/bin/python2.4

import PyLucene
import time

def funny(num):
    l = []
    l.append(num)
    #time.sleep(0.001)
    
ths = []
for i in range(1000000):
    th = PyLucene.PythonThread(target=funny, args=[i])
    th.start()
