If it were a C program I would suggest running it under Valgrind. However,
it's a Python program, and I'm not sure what the equivalent tool is in this
case. It could well be the AT-SPI 2 library that's leaking but you need to
find out more precisely what the cause is.

I hope someone on the list knows what memory analyzer to use.

Incidentally, Clang now has a memory leak detection tool which apparently
doesn't slow down the execution of a program as Valgrind does. So, if AT-SPI
can be compiled with Clang it should be easier to obtain a report that details
any memory leaks which still occur.
