PyDict_SetItemString() with objects that were not properly decrefed afterwards. Due to the number of places this was used, I added a wrapper EXPP_dict_set_item_str() to gen_utils.c to handle it. This started as a scriptlink bug, due to how many times scripts were being executed I think it just magnified how bad the memory leak in BPy was. Animating the blend attached with this bug report would cause memory to grow by about 3MB for every 280 frames. After the patch, memory did not appear to grow at all (or at least not noticably using Unix's ps and top utils). Since many of the PyDict_SetItemString() calls were in initialization modules I think my tests executed most of the changed code, but would appreciate script users really giving feedback.
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
