Memory Leak in parse_address

[boxbeatsy]

I just wanted to leave a note that we confirmed a fairly large memory leak associated with parse_address in our Heroku/Django application. Using heapy in a heroku bash shell, we deduced that the cities.csv file was continually being loaded and saved in memory. We didn't have the resources to find a workaround, so we moved to another package, but I wanted to file this ticket in case it flags the issue for anyone in the future who can save some time.

What package, if you don't mind sharing? 😉

malloc traceback also confirmed the leak was on the cities.csv being loaded into memory in a loop

I wasn't parsing the city and i didnt have time to debug the code so i just commented out lines 57 to 60 which called the function to load the csv
