Hrm.  Not really I am afraid.  I dont see any leaks running this code.  You should be able to trim it down to something with a tight loop (ie, very quick or no sleeping) and see the memory usage rise pretty quickly.

Also, note that your code:
    (None, None, None,
     None, None, sec,
     None, None, None) = localtime(time())

Is very very dangerous - it is changing the builtin value None!!
