I just started with Panda3d, got an development build, installed it and pointed PyDev to that installation. That works.
However, every time I run something from Eclipse, the window shows, one model slowly spinning, it is using about 300 MB for memory. That’s not to bad. But, as soon as I close the window, that memory use, for ppython starts rising very quickly, into the multiple GB range and it doesn’t stop until I manually kill the process. I noticed something was wrong after every 4th run my system would start complaining. Imagine seeing 4 instances of ppython each using about 2 GB of memory and growing.
So, is there an alternative? Can I use my own python installation? What files do I need to copy to a virtualenv to be able to use panda? Is it a known issue?
I am using Windows 7, 16gb machine and the Sat, 23 Aug 14 07:03:53 Panda3D snapshot.
I am using Eclipse, 4.4.0, with PyDev 3.6.0
