cymem

cymem is a Python library that provides efficient memory-management helpers for Cython. It simplifies tying C-level memory allocations (via `calloc`/`free`) to the lifecycle of Python objects, automatically freeing memory when the owning Python object is garbage collected. The core component is `cymem.Pool`, a thin wrapper around `calloc`. Currently at version 2.0.13, it maintains a regular release cadence, often aligning with new Python version support and performance enhancements like free-threading.
