Ref Count Checking

As part of an extension debugging exercise I printed refcounts
relating to the structure
('a1', {'z1': 'az1'}, ['b1', ('c1', {'y1': 'ay1'}, ['d1'], None), 'e1'], None)
either created directly in Python or by my extension.
An earlier pass revealed values of decrementing values
for the None output from the extension (it was stealing a None).
After Correcting I'm still getting differences.
In particular the strings az1, ay1, b1, c1, d1, e1 seem to have counts from the
extension which are 3 lower than from the python version.
Is there any way to deduce what the python count should be?
I'm assuming that a string like az1 is reasonably unique so there
shouldn't be any question of a library reference.
('a1', {'z1': 'az1'}, ['b1', ('c1', {'y1': 'ay1'}, ['d1'], None), 'e1'], None)
T6 a1:10 D7 z1:9 az1:7 L7 b1:10 T7 c1:10 D7 y1:9 ay1:7 L7 d1:10 N209 e1:10 N209
('a1', {'z1': 'az1'}, ['b1', ('c1', {'y1': 'ay1'}, ['d1'], None), 'e1'], None)
T6 a1:7 D7 z1:9 az1:4 L7 b1:7 T7 c1:7 D7 y1:9 ay1:4 L7 d1:7 N209 e1:7 N209
