Re: Suitability for long-running text processing?

After reading
http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#how-does-python-manage-memory, I
tried modifying this program as below:

a=[]

for i in xrange(33,127):
 for j in xrange(33,127):
  for k in xrange(33,127):
   for l in xrange(33, 127):
    a.append(chr(i)+chr(j)+chr(k)+chr(l))

import sys
sys.exc_clear()
sys.exc_traceback = sys.last_traceback = None

del(a)

import gc
gc.collect()

And it still never frees up its memory.
