[Twisted-Python] My memory leak, diagnosed

[Matthew Glubb]

Hi All,

I just wanted to put your minds at rest regarding what I though might  
have been a problem with the epoll reactor. As always, inferring  
anything from a production machine is not desirable and it seems that  
my assumptions about epoll were based on coincidence.

I have since found the leak:

<http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3188>

Unfortunately, my workaround involved rewriting my proxy code without  
using twistd.web. I'll happily contribute a patch back to the  
t.w.proxy code in time but for the moment it doesn't support  
persistent connections (I wanted to keep it simple). I also feel that  
t.w.proxy would be better served by making use of a reciprocal  
IProducer / IConsumer arrangement between the ProxyServer protocol  
and the ProxyClient protocol which is something that my workaround  
does not implement.

Thanks again for Twisted,


Matt
