So this was the whole output I got , sorry for uploading this in parts(character limitation).
I hope this gives something useful to track down the issue.
Did you write the launcher script, or is that third-party? It's clearly written in Python, and the issue is definitely there. I just can't narrow in on the specific issue, because the memory issues are being thrown by the interpreter (e.g. at 0x41964F: PyObject_Free (in /usr/bin/python2.7)). That indicates that something odd has been done within the Python code, but I won't be able to diagnose this further without really fully understanding the launcher's source code, and I'm afraid I don't have time to learn it.
If this is third-party code, open an issue against the launcher project, and include the above output of Valgrind.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Yikes. Could you delete that comment chain and put it in a Gist or bpaste.net or some such? It'll be easier to read.
In any case, that confirmed my suspicion; the launcher is the problem. it's not memory pure at all.
After ending the process manually I further got the output
So this was the whole output I got , sorry for uploading this in parts(character limitation).

I apologise for making such a long comment chain.
I have now made a gist of running the launch file through valgrind in
gist.github.com/rishabh900/41fd6df...
And the above comment is the output after i terminated the process manually.
So what do you think of now?
