Perhaps I should write about this on my blog.  Updating the memory allocation macro layer in cPython for embedding is something I'd be inclined to contribute, but it will involve a large amount of bikeshedding, I'm sure :)

Trawl the tracker before you do - I'm pretty sure there's a patch (from the Nokia S60 port, IIRC) that adds a couple of macro definitions so that platform ports and embedding applications can intercept malloc() and free() calls.

It would be way out of date by now, but I seem to recall thinking it looked reasonable at a quick glance.

Cheers, Nick.
