Another change I made is allocating space for the string vector input arguments (e.g. for passing environments to job templates), because not doing so leaded to interpreter crash. Do the functions accepting string vector inputs properly deallocate space? If the client has the responsibility of deallocating space then now we have a memory leak (which is not so bad, except for long-running tasks), so let me know what's the precise behaviour (or point me to the specs page so I can set up a workaround).

There might be a memory leak in the Python binding, if it assumes memory gets deallocated automatically. The functions for memory deallocation are: int drmaa_delete_job_template(drmaa_job_template_t *jt, char *error_diagnosis, size_t error_diag_len); void drmaa_release_attr_names(drmaa_attr_names_t* values); void drmaa_release_attr_values(drmaa_attr_values_t* values); void drmaa_release_job_ids(drmaa_job_ids_t* values); Cheers, Andreas
