allocated by the manager is in form of a private heap space dedicated for Python. All Python
objects are stored in this heap and being private, it is inaccessible to the programmer.
Though, python does provide some core API functions to work upon the private heap space.
Additionally, Python has an in-built garbage collection to recycle the unused memory for the
private heap space.
