Tim Peters added the comment:

Now you have something to show the matplotlib folks - although they're not 
likely to get excited about leaking 40 bytes.

There is nothing Python can do about this.  matplotlib is responsible for 
free'ing the memory matplotlib allocates, just as Python is responsible for 
free'ing the memory Python allocates.  If _you_ wrote a C extension module, and 
did

char *p = (char *)malloc(40);

and never did a free(p) later, it would be the same kind of thing.
