How can I explicitly free memory in Python?
I wrote a Python program that acts on a large input file to create a few million objects representing triangles. The algorithm is:

I’ve recently become interested in algorithms and have begun exploring them by writing a naive implementation and then optimizing it in various ways.
Can you dereference a variable id retrieved from the id function in Python? For example:
Two Python strings with the same characters, a == b,
may share memory, id(a) == id(b),
or may be in memory twice, id(a) != id(b).
Try
In the numpy manual about the reshape() function, it says
I’m getting a memory issue I can’t seem to understand.
I have a 3GB CSV file that I try to read with python, I need the median column wise.
I need to produce large and big (very) matrices (Markov chains) for scientific purposes. I perform calculus that I put in a list of 20301 elements (=one row of my matrix). I need all those data in memory to proceed next Markov step but i can store them elsewhere (eg file) if needed even if it will slow my Markov chain walk-through. My computer (scientific lab): Bi-xenon 6 cores/12threads each, 12GB memory, OS: win64
How are variables and memory managed in Python? Does it have a stack and a heap and what algorithm is used to manage memory? Given this knowledge are there any recommendations on memory management for large number/data crunching?
Is there a reference for the memory size of Python data stucture on 32- and 64-bit platforms?
