If you don't want to read about the details of using Valgrind, there
are still two things you must do to suppress the warnings. First,
you must use a suppressions file. One is supplied in
Misc/valgrind-python.supp. Second, you must do one of the following:
* Uncomment Py_USING_MEMORY_DEBUGGER in Objects/obmalloc.c,
then rebuild Python
* Uncomment the lines in Misc/valgrind-python.supp that
suppress the warnings for PyObject_Free and PyObject_Realloc
Misc/valgrind-python.supp. Second, you must uncomment the lines in
Misc/valgrind-python.supp that suppress the warnings for PyObject_Free and
PyObject_Realloc.
If you want to use Valgrind more effectively and catch even more
memory leaks, you will need to configure python --without-pymalloc.
