Valgrind is a hugely useful tool for (among other things) tracking down 
memory leaks. Basically it monkey patches the code to replace the 
standard allocator and checks when stuff is not freed. I've used it 
somewhat for finding leaks in my own code.

It's less easy under Python because python causes Valgrind to throw up 
no end of errors due to its memory pooling and whatnot, but it's not 
insurmountable:

(I've done a bit of valgrind under python with reasonable success).
