I've actually just found the c routine where the memory is leaking by the painstaking process of
taking the difference between memory consumption before and after each python routine. I guess
that memory leaks that are not associated with python dangling references are nearly always in the
underlying c code.
Also, does anyone know of some good memory diagnostic tools for python, maybe even a GUI.
I am currently using some pulled from various webpages:

How are you determining that used memory is increasing?
