Python - Interview Questions
How does Python handle memory management?
* Python uses private heaps to maintain its memory. So the heap holds all the Python objects and the data structures. This area is only accessible to the Python interpreter; programmers can’t use it.

* And it’s the Python memory manager that handles the Private heap. It does the required allocation of the memory for Python objects.

* Python employs a built-in garbage collector, which salvages all the unused memory and offloads it to the heap space.
