Why does my progarm leak?

It's written in FIOC which is supposed to manage memory for me but it kind of doesn't. All my program does is scrape a website, iterate over an arrays I build from the data I got and download a few things but after a while it grows to over 1000mb.

Fucking FIOC.

It's because you aren't a very good programmer.

This. GC is a wonderful thing, but it's making some people stupid.

del is 90% of the time not what you want.
first off it does not deallocate anything, it just drops one reference. if your variable is referenced more than once, it will still be there.

I don't think del even does anything at all in non-CPython (Jython, IronPython, etc.) either.

the only correct answer is >>2-3.

OP, just let your script process everything in chunks. Save your progress in a temporary file and use exit(4) or whatever unless you're done with everything in which case you just quit as normal. Then loop your Python script in a shell script until it's finished by checking for the exit code (using $?).
This will fix your problem without wasting too much time with hunting for stupid bugs.
