If you read the Pyrex doco you will find that it is preferred to use the
python
memory management routines when allocating memory:

ctypedef long size_t

cdef extern from "Python.h":
    void* PyMem_Malloc(size_t n)
    void PyMem_Free(void* mem)

They also have new and delete analogues if that is preferred. The doco for
these
functions is in the Python documentation in the Python/C API section.
