It looks like none of the BeautifulSoup objects have __del__ methods, so I don't think that can be the problem.

To answer your other question, guppy was the best match I came up with when looking for a memory profile for Python (or more specifically "Heapy"):

That makes sense, so now I need to track down why there are references to the object when I don't think there should be. Are there any systematic methods for doing this?
