Subject: Py_REF_COUNT

I posted a message through DejaNews which didn't seem to propogate (at
least it didn't reach here).

Try the following in a Python with Py_REF_DEBUG but without Py_TRACE_REFS

class C:
	def __init__(self): pass

while 1:
	c=C()

Stop it after a while and look at the reference count printed!  Python
is not actually using all that memory though.  With Py_TRACE_REFS things
are ok.  I can't figure it out.  The class instance dealloc routine is rather
hairy.

With Py_TRACE_REFS some code of mine is doing some really bizarre things
but I would rather deal with one thing at a time.

Python version is 1.5.2 (tried on at least two platforms, both using gcc)

Many thanks,

Reuben

This report is a bit too vague to be useful.  I've queried the original poster to see if he is still having problems.
