Actually, I'll bet it's this code in PLy_spi_prepare:
plan->plan = SPI_prepare(query, plan->nargs, plan->types);// error check
plan->plan = SPI_saveplan(plan->plan);// error check
The copy of the plan that's returned by SPI_prepare is being blithely
lost --- and since it's in the procCxt, it won't go away until the
plpython function is exited. Need a SPI_freeplan() here, I think.
Can you check it out and send a patch?
