Python Memory Management 101 (José Manuel Ortega) (Spain)

Posted on April 29, 2020November 6, 2020

Python Memory Management 101 (José Manuel Ortega) (Spain) is an English session in the online PyCon HK 2020 Spring.

In this talk I will try explain the memory internals of Python and discover how it handles memory management and object creation.The idea is explain how objects are created and deleted in Python and how garbage collector(gc) functions to automatically release memory when the object taking the space is no longer in use.

Also I will review the main mechanims for memory allocation and how the garbage collector works in conjunction with the memory manager for reference counting of the python objects.Finally, I will comment the best practices for memory managment such as writing efficient code.

These could be the main talking points:
-Introduccition to memory management
-Garbage collector and reference counting with python
-Review the gc module for configuring the python garbage collector
-Best practices for memory managment
