Growing python.exe process memory when debugging. What could be the problem?

Question

Django

Hello! I write code in Intellij IDEA 12 version using Django ORM. Today, since lunch, python somehow began to behave strangely in debug mode. I put a breakpoint, the process stops, but the list of variables is not displayed, there is an inscription Collecting data... and that's it. After a while IDEA freezes. At the same time, the task manager shows that the memory of the python process is constantly growing, and very quickly. As a result, the process drops out after some time, probably due to lack of memory. Until today, I have not observed anything like this, it started out of the blue, I did not update any packages. Tried deleting all *.pyc files in the project, didn't help. Has anyone come across it and can offer some advice? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can see with a profiler what and how.

Answer 2

most likely a lot of data to display

Answer 3

With DEBUG=True, Django saves all requests made to the database. Perhaps this has some effect.
