I compiled the code to DLLs and import it from a python script but the
memory leaks were still there.

I guess if we put the following at the beginning of a program we will always
get these memory leaks.

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    _CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF );
...

I guess you mean that's not a problem and the memory leaks wouldn't made my
programs mal-functional.
