Why pymalloc? I presume this means you're using ctypes which means I have more questions.
If you're allocating your own blocks of memory then you need to free them too. IE, does each call to pymalloc have a corresponding call to pyfree? Is the overhead of pythons built in malloc really a problem? Are you changing pointers before you've freed the corresponding block of memory? There are many ways to create a memory leak, all of them eliminated by letting python handle your memory allocations. But, back to your original question, check out "valgrind".
