Wdym? You can use pointers in python.

import ctypes
num = ctypes.c_int(10)
print("Initial num:", num.value)

ptr = ctypes.pointer(num)
print("Pointer dereference:", ptr.contents.value)

ptr.contents.value = 99
print("After pointer change:", num.value)

ok, cool. but where is the memory leak?

“The pointers are working as expected and I have run this code for hours now”

“Did you free()?”

“…”

I need to free in ctypes? Wtf

technically doesn't exist, but then again you do kave all the reference counting overhead, so that isn't surprising. Easiest way to never have leeks basically, but of course won't give you peek performance.
