gc.set_threshold()
gc.set_threshold() is a Python function in the GC Module category. Sets the garbage collection thresholds for each generation. The syntax is gc.set_threshold(threshold0, threshold1=None, threshold2=None). Returns: None. A typical example: gc.set_threshold(700, 10, 10) # Custom GC tuning. A close sibling is gc.collect(), which runs the garbage collector. Returns the number of unreachable objects collected. A close sibling is gc.get_objects(), which returns a list of all objects tracked by the garbage collector. A close sibling is gc.get_threshold(), which returns the current GC thresholds as a tuple. A close sibling is gc.get_count(), which returns the current collection counts as a tuple. More about this category: Garbage collector — collect, get_objects, set_threshold, get_stats.
