[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Python bindings memory management fixes

[Jan David Mol]

Hi,

I fixed some bugs in the Python bindings i came across. The patch is  
attached, hopefully it can be of use. It fixes the following issues:

- The use of PyObject_DEL instead of PyMem_DEL, since objects are  
allocated using PyObject_New.
- Fixed a memory leak in vlcInstance_new in case of illegal parameters
- MediaControl.getInstance() returns a vlcInstance, an object  
wrapping its p_instance. If the vlcInstance was deallocated, so was  
the p_instance of the MediaControl. The MC now keeps a vlcInstance at  
all times, and just hands out references to it. This fixes crashes  
when MediaControl.getInstance() is used but when that reference is  
not kept around.

Greetings,
   Jan David
