Not with python as far I can remember. But often with C++ executables,
as i mentioned it.
I you look at
http://valgrind.org/info/
there stands:
Valgrind has been used on programs written partly or entirely in C, C+
+, Java, Perl, Python, assembly code, Fortran, Ada, and many others.

It exists also a extension for python
http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2008/03/24/python-valgrind/ , to get rid
of the false positiv errors.
So it should be worth a try.
