    <p>I just made a program that takes user input in the form of a float and converts the number from MM to inches. I recently noticed that when I run the program the more the program loops (takes user input) The more memory the program starts to use up. How can I make it so that it doesn't use more memory every time it takes user input? I should add that I am very new to programming, python is the first language I started teaching myself, I'm not using books other than the Python documentation, and I am mostly just going through other peoples source code and running it/editing it to figure out whats doing what. This is the first program I wrote on my own. And I have only been teaching myself Python for a little under 3 weeks Here's the code</p> <pre><code>Inches = float(25.4) Surface_Inches = "**********Surface in Inches**********" Enter_Number = "**********Enter Number in MM**********" Final_Number = "**********Number in Inches**********" WTF = "Sorry I could not recognize that, please try again" keep_running = True help = """ Commands: type (exit, quit, end, or kill) to exit the program type RA to enter Surface finish conversion If you are in Surface conversion mode you must enter Ra number in MM that needs converted to Inches. """ import time import math import os print("Welcome to the converter") time.sleep(.75) print("I can convert units of measurement from MM to Inches") time.sleep(.75) while keep_running: print("Enter Number or type RA for Surface conversion") print(Enter_Number) number = (input()) if number in('end', 'quit', 'exit', 'kill'): break elif number in('clear'): os.system('CLS') elif number in('help'): print(help) elif number in('Ra', 'RA', 'ra', 'rA', 'Surface', 'Finish'): print("Enter the Surface Finish in MM") Surface = (input()) if Surface in('help'): print(" ") print(help) print(" ") else: try: Surface_Finish = float(Surface) except ValueError: print(WTF) else: Surface_IN_Finish = Surface_Finish/Inches Answer = (float(Surface_IN_Finish *1000)) if Answer &lt; 1 : #if the converted results is less than 1 the answers 1 Answer = 1 print(Surface_Inches) print(" ") print('\t', " %.0f" % Answer) print(" ") print(Surface_Inches) else: try: MM = float(number) except ValueError: #checks to see if the user input is a number time.sleep(0.5) print(WTF) else: Results = float(MM \ Inches) Final_Form = ("%.3f%" % Results) #creates a float that goes to 3 decimal places print(Final_Number) print(" ") print('\t', " ", Final_form) print(" ") print(Final_Number) from tkinter import Tk #Imports the Tk Module final_form2 = (str(final_form)) r = Tk() r.withdraw() # I have no idea what this does r.clipboard_clear() r.clipboard_append(final_form2) #appends final_form2 to clipboard </code></pre>

    1. COPython as a good gc http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4484167/details-how-python-garbage-collection-works, so I am not sure how you are measuring up the memory usage. This seems like a simple program to observe any noticeable memory degradation. Can you tell how you measured the memory usage?

    2. CO@ Bhavish Agarwal I go into the task manager and find my program under processes (I built it into a .exe using cx_Freeze) When I first open my program its memory is at 4,692K If I enter a number to be converted lets say 10 times its memory usage goes up to 21,528k. It just keeps rising the more I use the program. Yesterday I was running it all day and by the end of the day it was taking up almost 1gb of ram. Is there a way I can stop it from doing this

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
