An Optimized Memory Allocation and Deallocation Method while Programming in Python

Abstract

Abstract

Memory management is memory allocation and deallocation for objects done automatically at run time in Python. Programmers need not allocate or deallocate memory explicitly. Python Virtual Machine (PVM) handles these activities. Every Python object is stored in its own way, that is, different objects are stored in different methods. Reference counting algorithm is used for memory management in Python.

Keywords: Allocation, deallocation, PVM, reference counting
