I have a program that seemed to be leaking memory, but after debugging, it seemed it just wasn't getting around to collecting the objects in question often enough. The objects are very long-lived, so they probably end up in generation 2, and don't get collected for a long time. Is there any way I can force collection of these objects? I know in Python 2.5 there's gc.collect(2), but I want to keep it compatible with previous versions of Python.
