I had the same question, and I performed some simple experiments.
1) Re-assignment. I ran this and watched python's memory usage. It was
completely flat.
for i in range(1,50000):
stdscr.refresh()
win = curses.newwin(10,1,0,2*2*i)
win.bkgd(' ',curses.A_REVERSE)
win.refresh()
curses.napms(1)
It seems that python calls the underlying curses API
delwin(some_window) when some_window goes out of scope. Thus, there is
no need to call something like it explicitly.
Hope this helps.
