I'm writing a python plugin and noticed that everytime I browse the resulting folders, there is a memory leak of around 2 MB.
This can be easily tested with the Eurogamer or Gametrailers plugins: select the "All" folder, go back, select it again and repeat it several times while checking the memory usage with the Task Manager.
Looking at the debug log, it seems that the python libs are always loaded and unloaded everytime you select a folder so my guess is that they aren't properly freed.
XBMC 8.10 is working properly. XBMC 9.04 shows the bug so it must be something between those builds. Xbox build is fine and I don't know if linux builds are also affected.
Can someone confirm the bug?
