How is memory managed in Python?

Memory is managed in Python by the following way:

  • The Python memory is managed by a Python private heap space. All the objects and data structures are located in a private heap. The programmer does not have permission to access this private heap.
  • We can easily allocate heap space for Python objects by the Python memory manager. The core API gives access of some tools to the programmer for coding purpose.
  • Python also has an inbuilt garbage collector, which recycle all the unused memory and frees the memory for the heap space.
