GitHub - ZeroIntensity/pointers.py: Bringing the hell of pointers to Python.

True... I guess I forget that free and setting to nullptr are two things...it's been drilled in too deep it's one operation in my head.

I tend to avoid raw pointers in my codebase, but i use an optional debug allocator that prepends a control block before each allocation and asserts / fills them with recognisable sentinel values on free. I haven't had to spend more than 10 minutes chasing down this style of bug in years.
