Everything works fine, but sorry for the recurrent question: where
should I use the Py_INCREF()/Py_DECREF() in code above?

That depends on the functions which are called. It should be given in the API description. The same counts for the incoming parameters (which are borrowed AFAIR - but better have a look).

The most critical parts are indeed

* the input parameters

and

* Py_BuildValue()

. Maybe you could as well have a look at some example code.

Especially look at the concepts called "borrowed reference" vs. "owned reference".

And, for your other question:

You ask how to stop leaking memory? Well, simply by not leaking it :-)

Just free the memory area:

if (cRes == 0) {
    PyObject* ret = Py_BuildValue("s", outdata);
    free(outdata);
    return ret;
}

BTW: Is there any reason for using calloc()? malloc() would probably be faster...
