Looks like a copy and paste error from RunString(string code) to me. If you want to send a pull request to fix it (with a unit test if you have one - I don't think RunString is currently covered by the tests) I'll merge it. thanks!

Hello there,

I have a quick question concerning the "RunString(string code, IntPtr globals, IntPtr locals)" routine. In it the parameter "locals" is decref'ed. Maybe I am missing something (could be, I do not know much about reference counting), but should something which the user passes be decref'ed?

My use case is the following: I embed python into C# and have a stateful wrapper around PythonEngine which manages a global and local dictionary. Therefore, I need the local dictionary I pass to RunString to be accessable (and sane) after the call. I noticed that locals contained random content after I called RunString and created new variables in the code. After I removed the Decref call in RunString, it seems to work as I would expect it to.
