New submission from Michael Ensslin: The suppression file that is shipped in Misc/valgrind-python.supp of the CPython 3(.x) source tarball only works with CPython 2.
This was tested on Debian Sid, with Python 3.4.3 and Python 2.7.9, both presumably not compiled with "--valgrind". Since Debian does not ship valgrind-python.supp, I downloaded the source tarball for Python 3.4.3, and edited the suppression file (un-commenting the rules for Free and Realloc, as the documentation suggests for when running with a non-valgrind-aware version of CPython). The test results are as follows: $ uname -a Linux mic 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt9-2 (2015-04-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
