[C++-sig] Reference count on class object and import()

[Simon W]

Alright, it was a couple of days ago since I last had a look on this and it
turns out that issue described in my first mail still persists. Although I
had a typo. Swap 4 with 3 on the reference count. Also, when Im using
PyImport_Import() directly it also shows 2 reference counts?
