Stefan Krah added the comment:

The docs say:

inquiry m_clear

    A clear function to call during GC clearing of the module object, or NULL 
if not needed.

freefunc m_free

    A function to call during deallocation of the module object, or NULL if not 
needed.

So I assume that GC clearing is not happening if sys.exit() is called.  Note 
that
the leak only occurs with sys.exit().
