    This is the code that is causing memory leak in 64 bit python [but not
    in 32 bit python].. is something wrong in the code?

    In principle pure Python code should have no memory leaks - if there are, they're on Python itself.
    Maybe this is an allocation problem, not an actual leak; if you can write a program that reproduces the problem, post a bug at http://bugs.python.org
