I don't think that's possible, since that would mean Python would need to keep a reference to the object holding the reference, which seems pretty awkward. You can however, obtain the number of referencing objects using sys.getrefcount(object). You have to subtract 1 from the result, as the function itself of course holds a reference to at the moment it is being called. Almar
