Bug#696676: python-fife: Memory leak in conjunction with unknown-horizons

[Tim Weippert]

Package: python-fife
Version: 0.3.3+r3-1.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

with the game unknown-horizons, there seems an memory leak within the python-fife package. These logs are written to console window:

swig/python detected a memory leak of type 'FIFE::MouseEvent *', no destructor found.
swig/python detected a memory leak of type 'FIFE::MouseEvent *', no destructor found.

As i found on the fife trac system, these is an known problem, maybe it can be tweaked and backported. ( http://fife.trac.cvsdude.com/engine/ticket/699 ).

I tried attached patch and get smoother mouse movements and no messages on console.

cheers, 
tim
