[PyQt] Debug potential memory leaks

Hi,

I'm having a small 'systray' application that monitors a jenkins service
and it seems there's some kind of memory leak, especially on MacOSX. After
having it run for a while (with the machine going to sleep now and again)
it starts eating quite some memory - if I understand top/ActivityMonitor
correctly - and amd wondering now how I'd best debug a PyQt application's
memory consumption.

So what tools do you guys usually use to debug such memory leaks? I've
tried valgrind on Linux but there's no good hint there, possibly also due
to the way Python works.

Andreas
