libvirt_virDomainMemoryStats() function creates a dictionary without any checks whether the additions were successful, whether the python objects were created and, most importantly, without decrementing the reference count on the objects added to the dictionary. This is somehow not an issue with current upstream versions, however with python 2.6 this exposes a leak in our bindings. The following patch works on both old and new CPython versions and is already used in other parts of the code, so it's also most straightforward.

Libvirt Python Binding README
=============================
This package provides a python binding to the libvirt.so,
libvirt-qemu.so and libvirt-lxc.so library APIs.
It is written to build against any version of libvirt that
is 0.9.11 or newer.
This code is distributed under the terms of the LGPL version
2 or later.
The module can be built by following the normal python module
build process
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
or to install as non-root
python setup.py build
python setup.py install --user
Patches for this code should be sent to the main libvirt
development mailing list
http://libvirt.org/contact.html#email
To send patches, it is strongly recommended to use the
'git send-email' command.
Make sure the mails mention that the patch is for the python
binding. This can be done by setting a config parameter in the
local git checkout
git config format.subjectprefix "PATCH python"
