SublimeREPL

[vitaLee]

that's what i wanted to achieve and it works for me.
regarding your questions about running rails console that would probably be ideal for a plugin on its own.

I'll see what can be done when I get back from work.

Hi,

I use SublimeREPL with Python all the time. Its great. But I have recently found an issue with memory not being released. When I close a REPL tab it does not kill the process. If I check in 'system monitor' it says 'sleeping' and 'pipe-wait', and the memory is still tied up.

To reproduce it:

* Open a REPL python tab.
* Do something that consumes a lot of memory, such as:
>>> data = np.asarray([i for i in xrange(1000 * 10000)]).reshape(1000,10000)
* close tab.
* the process is not killed, and the memory is still locked up, until I go into 'system monitor' and manually kill it.

I'm on Ubuntu. I'm afraid I don't know too much about killing processes, otherwise I'd try and sort it myself.

Many thanks.

(by the way I continue to use PDB, this way and its also great, aside from this issue!)

Reliably killing REPL processes is an ongoing problem.
Are you using the latest version of SublimeREPL (1.0.32)?

[outer7]

Yes, its 1.0.32.

I will take a look during my week off

Nice one

[outer7]

Do something non-computery on you week off..

Adding this line:

Code: Select all

os.kill(self.popen.pid,signal.SIGTERM)

to the end of the kill method, in subprocess_repl.py seems to fix it for me.

Unfortunately, this won't work on Windows

Unfortunately, this won't work on Windows

Actually I think SIGTERM will 'work', it's the only signal that is handled on Windows. Although, experience shows that 'work' means very different things on different systems

I'm more concerned about:
1) Clojure/Scala/Ruby/any other repls that spawn more than one process
2) killpg()/SIGKILL not working

PS. If you want to see what kind of problems arise when you try to add something "smart", see this: see: https://github.com/wuub/SublimeREPL/issues/41
