By default, Python is optimized for performance but its pymalloc memory allocator causes false alarms in Valgrind.

> https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Misc/README.valgrind

This or you can disable pymalloc at runtime using:

PYTHONMALLOC=malloc python3 ...

or:

PYTHONMALLOC=malloc_debug python3 ...

See:
https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/memory.html
and
