If you can recompile a specific version for using with Python, you 
can play with a few macros like

#ifdef USE_PYTHON_ALLOCATOR
#define my_malloc(s) PyMem_Malloc(s)
#else
#define my_malloc(s) malloc(s)
#endif

and change all bare malloc/realloc/free along the code to 
my_malloc/etc. (Chances are the code is using a special malloc 
spelling already, C guys tend to do such things...)
Then you can recompile it for use with or without Python.
