Clear RAM usage at run time in Python with this function and optionally print the remining RAM usage. Helpful when executing code in loops which cnsume a large amoount of RAM.
About
We make use of the built-in Garbage Collection library for the removal of objects from RAM. There are other methods for clearing RAM in Python which are explained in detail here – a recommended read.
Code
If you would rather not use the below function then you can simply add the following code as u see fit.
Or you can use this function in you code and optionally print the current RAM usage of the process/script after garbage collection is complete.
Explnation
After importing required libraries we call gc.collection() to run a full collection. Then if specified we print the remaining RAMusage with the psutil library.
