That's the one.  Thanks Alex.  It is now up on my wall :-)

BTW, I'm chuckling a little less now.  Executing:

print len(gc.garbage), len(gc.get_objects())

periodically shows that my app is steadily eating memory.  len(gc.garbage)
remains zero while len(gc.get_objects()) steadily increases.  And I thought
I was recycling all bindings :-(

You wouldn't know of something similar to timeit for storage allocation,
would you?
