Debugging memory leaks in a WSGI application

Dozer is WSGI middleware to track down memory leaks - it's also is a port from Robert Brewer's Dowser CherryPy tool.

It's pretty straight forward to use it:

from dozer import Dozer
wsgi_app = Dozer(wsgi_app)

You can then visit http://localhost:8080/_dozer/i... to see information about your applications objects:

Pretty nifty and gives a great overview to spot down potential memory leaks.
