font-family:Arial'>I am trying to insert a hook into python enabling a callback
for all just-created objects. The intention is to debug and find memory leaks,
e.g. by having the hook function insert the object into a WeakKeyDictionary.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=IS style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have already added a method to “object” to set
such a hook, and “object_new” now calls it upon completion, but
this is far from covering all places. Initially, I thought object_init were
the place, but almost no classes call object.__init__ from their __init__
method. Then there is the separate case of old-style classes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
