How is memory managed in python?

• Memory management in Python involves a private heap containing all Python objects and data structures.
• Interpreter takes care of Python heap and that the programmer has no access to it.
• The allocation of heap space for Python objects is done by Python memory manager.
• The core API of Python provides some tools for the programmer to code reliable and more robust program.
• Python also has a build-in garbage collector which recycles all the unused memory.
• When an object is no longer referenced by the program, the heap space it occupies can be freed.
• The garbage collector determines objects which are no longer referenced by the program frees the occupied memory and make it available to the heap space.
• The gc module defines functions to enable /disable garbage collector:

gc.enable() -Enables automatic garbage collection.

gc.disable() - Disables automatic garbage collection.
