New submission from Sümer Cip <sum...@gmail.com>:

Hi all,

While trying to debug Python C extension via valgrind, I was reading the 
document Misc/README.valgrind and it seems there are some parts not being 
uptodate. There is comments comments like following:

Uncomment Py_USING_MEMORY_DEBUGGER in Objects/obmalloc.c, then rebuild Python. 
This define seems to be removed from the obmalloc.c file and also I am not sure 
if anything is using it at all. When I searched the code, only Python/dtoa.c 
have a reference to this define. Anyway, I have not specifically investigated 
the reason behind of the removal of the define but it seems it is removed 
somewhere between 3.3 and 3.4. I am assuming it might be related with 
tracemalloc maybe? 

Cheers,
