If you say so. That's not what I've observed, especially if you're talking about code where Python is the glue and all the heavy lifting is done in C or C++.

I am comparing Java to Python. Not Java to Python code wrapping C++ code. Because in that case, we would be really comparing Java to C++ code. Which I am happy to do, but not what I did.

This whole thread was about memory leaks caused by not sticking to a single language.
