BlockingConnection simple_publish eating memory.

[corpulent]

I am using pika to publish messages from a Django app, everytime I publish a message, my memory usage increases a bit, overtime the server crashes because it runs out of memory. I can't figure out what is causing this memory leak. I am using the publishing example from here https://github.com/pika/pika/blob/master/examples/publish.py. I call this script from my Django app via subprocess.Popen, I also tried wrapping into a Pyro4 object. Nothing helps, I always get the memory leak. Any thoughts?

Which OS and version of pika are you using?

If you're wrapping your entire pika session in a Popen, and then reaping the subprocess (confirming that it completed), I don't see how pika could be contributing to memory leaks, since the operating system is responsible for cleaning up memory upon process termination. Are you sure that the subprocesses are terminating in a timely manner?

It would help to isolate the code into a simpler app; for example, eliminate Django, and just implement a simple python app that publishes messages using subprocess.Popen just like you were with Django, and checking to make sure that the process completes, etc., and tracking memory usage.

Post the simple code example that reproduces the problem without Django.

Is this with the latest RabbitMQ version (3.6.2?)

I resolved this by stopping the logging.
