[Liblas-devel] Python memory usage issue

[Nicola Creati]

Hello,
running this simple Python script you will find that you will soon get  
out of memory. (It works with any las files)
Can someone explain why?
Thanks,

Nicola


from liblas.file import File
f = File('/Downloads/libLAS-1.6.0b3/test/data/1.1_1.las')
for i in xrange(15000):
     temp = f.header.offset
