Is there a better way to approach this problem? (I also have valgrind at my disposal, but am not very skilled in its use.)
valgrind is what I was going to suggest. You have to compile Python with extra flags to get it to integrate well with valgrind though, because of its custom allocators (if you're just trying to run it now and are confused by the results, that might be why).
valgrind (or rather, valgrind's "memcheck" module) has command line flags for giving deeper information than the default, but at the expense of tracking more and slowing things down.
