[wxPython] explanation for memory-leak report wished

Ending my script with wxPython2.3.1b6-Hybrid/Python2.1/MSW98
I get a memory-leak report with mentioned
wxHtmlHelpController, wxObject and wxFont, 7 items allocated 228 Bytes.
What does this mean, have I anything to correct in my programs ?

If I run the script from idle there is no report in the
python-shell-window, the report appears only if called from
commandline.

Thanks, Udo

This is a list of wx C++ objects that still exist when the wxc extension
module is cleaned up prior to exit. Usually it means that you have globals
that are not freed yet, a circualr reference of some sort, frames that are
only hidden not Close'd, or popup menus or dialogs that are not Destroy'ed.
If the number of items is static (doesn't change for different runs or your
program) then it's probably not a big deal if you have a few of them.

If I run the script from idle there is no report in the
python-shell-window, the report appears only if called from
commandline.

It is C++ code, so it goes to the C runtime library's stderr, not Python's
sys.stderr.
