Neal, does this mean that testctypes does not leak anymore, or is it somehow excluded from this list? I'm guessing, but I believe Neal uses Misc/build.sh for this, and ctypes is now in its LEAKYTESTS pattern of test names to skip:

LEAKYTESTS="test(cmdline|ctypes|filecmp|socket|threadedtempfile|threading|threadinglocal|urllib2)" Tim's right, the leak report comes from Misc/build.sh (same with building the docs and other emails sent to python-checkins). ctypes leaks inconsistently which is why it's in the LEAKYTESTS. In this case it didn't show any leaks. I don't know if the leaks will return. When the leaks aren't consistent and report the same number, it usually means there are references elsewhere that may or may not be cleaned up. However, ctypes still leaks when reloaded. We probably ought to have a test for each module that just does reload(module) and see if that leaks. I wouldn't be surprised if several C modules leak. I've added a tracker item for that. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1471423&group_id=5470&atid=105470
