Hi Alex
The call to PyString_FromString() will cause Python memory manager
to allocate a new string object in Python's private heap rather than
incrementing a reference to the string in system heap.
Meanwhile, the function returns the ownership of a new reference(probably
the first one) to the string object to "val".
According to the Memory Management doc,"PyDict_SetItem() and friends
don’t take over ownership" that means It doesn't increment the reference
to the string object.
So, The object reference returned from the C function that is called from Python
is returned to the Python program with only one reference. as for the string
in the system heap, it is release by "free(params)" above the last return.
