Description Alan Pevec 2017-05-24 21:03:59 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1455078 +++

Description of problem:

Currently python-idna-2.0 is shipped in RHEL 7.3. This version consumes around 25MB of memory only to load:

>>> import resource
>>> resource.getrusage(resource.RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss
5052
>>> import idna
>>> resource.getrusage(resource.RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss
31344
>>> 

Some memory optimizations have been applied upstream from release 2.0 until latest one, 2.5 leading to a huge improvement:

>>> import resource
>>> resource.getrusage(resource.RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss
5048
>>> import idna
>>> resource.getrusage(resource.RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss
5888
>>> 

Reviewing the commits from v2.0..v2.5, there have been no changes in the public methods of the library, so it seems to be fully compatible with version 2.0, so i'd say it should be safe to update it.


OpenStack services using eventlet are using idna via import from python-dns, which is leading to increase memory usage.

rebuilding latest 2.5 from Fedora with a small patch to disable py3:
