Doing an animation in python memory use increase at every step. Is there any way to avoid this or an explanation of why this happens.  
1 year ago someone asked something similar [ParaView Memory Leak?](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/paraview-memory-leak/493) but no answer.  
Thanks

Problem solved, like that the guilty is simple.SaveAnimation  
Using simple.SaveScreenshot for each camera position doesn’t increase the memory for ever
