Re: [Matplotlib-users] Re: memory leaks, 0.54.1 with .2a modifications

John,

I am using pygtk2.2, built and installed from the tarball on top of my 
existing pygtk2.0, which was installed from rpm.

The problem does not seem to be inevitable with pygtk plotting; testing 
I have done so far with pyStripchart 0.0.7 
(http://jstripchart.sourceforge.net), also with pygtk2.2, has given no 
indication of a leak.  It is a much more specialized (hence simpler) 
package, though.  It draws directly to a DrawingArea instead of using a 
Pixmap.
