The documentation states that m_size should be -1 if no additional memory is needed. But this causes the objects inside the module to not be deallocated at all. The attached module (test) stores an object of a type 'Test', which prints "Deallocation is happening" in it's tp_dealloc. If m_size in the TestModule is set to -1, this is never reached. If it is 0, it is reached.
