imshow memory leak in pylab mode?

Well, maybe, but why does it not happen for John? His penultimate post showed, that his iPython session does not have this problem? Is there a setting that might influence this apart from the hold state?

Furthermore,
deleting images from ax.images does not free memory :

Maybe because ipython is keeping a reference to every AxesImage object
that you make...

My suggestion was wrong, and I'm baffled. Running your set of commands with your matplotlibrc (so that tkagg is used), I don't see the change in memory consumption. Maybe it is a problem with tk on the mac. Or something that was changed between 0.99.3 and 1.0.
