Bug in Python interpreter

Well, after evaluating Python as a possible scripting language I found a
few problems with the interpreter. It loses memory bad. Basically, I
wrote a small script to do some list and string work, and then hit an
exception (divide by zero), and did the whole thing over again...
Well, the swap file on the test system simply kept growing over time, I
killed it at a point when the process consumed over 12MB of RAM (Running
time: 1 day) from an original starting point of 401K.
Oh well...
Just trying to point something out.
