Description
The python query constructor which takes a sequence of queries as an argument leaks memory, due to failing to decref python objects returned from PySequence_GetItem. I think there are also other memory leaks in the related code. I have a small testcase which reproduces this; though not to hand at present. Making this issue as a placeholder to keep track of this issue.
(Note that valgrind doesn't seem to be able to detect the leak, but the testcase I have is very simple and clear and rapidly uses up 100s of Mbs of memory.)
