[Python-modules-team] Bug#630045: python-qt3: Simple usage of QListView leaks memory

[Nahuel Greco]

Package: python-qt3
Version: 3.18.1-4.1
Severity: normal

The attached test seems to leak all the QListViewItem's instances. Note this is a simple usage, 
I'm only creating QListViewItem's and doing a QListView::clear() to delete them, not 
subclassing QListViewItem or something fancy like that.
