As Julien pointed out to me recently |PYTHONMALLOC| [1] environment variable can be used to use malloc instead of pymalloc and using it makes Python Valgrind-friendly. This is a better solution than compiling without pymalloc, thus I'm closing this bug. Thanks, Balint [1] https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONMALLOC
