[wxPython] New programmer leaks ... memory

Hello all:
Before I begin slicing my code apart in an effort to isolate my memory leak, I thought I'd ask if there were "typical" ways that new wxPython programmers leak ... memory, that is. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the message I get upon closing the program:

11:22:22 AM: There were memory leaks.
11:22:22 AM: ----- Memory dump -----

If you're using a wxGrid then this is a known bug, and you can just ignore
it for now.

Thanks for the good news! And is it possible that my frequent program crashes are also due to these memory leaks?

Probably not. Can you duplicate your crashes in a small sample to send
here?

Robin,

thanks for your consideration. Yes, i should try to reproduce such crashes in a small sample.
But for the moment i cannot even reproduce them systematically in my complete application! They just happen "quite often", and i cannot see any rule. Yesterday morning i almost thought i had found a reason for such crashes: by modifying the python source code while the application is still running. This worked twice, but when trying to reproduce it a third time, the error failed...
I must say that for the moment my application itself is not very stable, so for the moment i don't care too much about those crashes. Let's wait and see. You will hear from me if i got one.

This is no problem, btw. Python executes its pyc|pyo files, not the source
itself, unlike shell scripts and the like
