[vtk-developers] Python wrappers are leaking

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi All,

(David)

Python wrappers are leaking. Not the wrapping process itself, but the
wrapped classes that are created. For example:

PYTHONPATH=/home/andy/vtk/VTK/Wrapping/Python:/home/andy/vtk/VTK-gcc/bin
/usr/bin/python
Python 2.1.3 (#1, Jul 29 2002, 22:34:51) 
[GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vtk
>>> 
vtkDebugLeaks has detected LEAKS!
Class vtkHashMap has 2 instances still around.
Class vtkVector has 778 instances still around.

This is using debug leaks. I tried creating some objects:

>>> import vtk
>>> def foo():
...   a = vtk.vtkActor()
...   print a

>>> foo()

And you can see, no leak of actor.
So, could somebody look at the map of objects why is it not getting
deleted?
