This is certainly the wrong approach. To know if your Python code is leaking references, use either sys.getrefcount(), or (better) a weakref -- and don't forget to call gc.collect(). To know if some C extension is buggy, use your C debugger (or your favourite alternative debugging method, such as printf()). Changing reference counts from Python will lead to two possible consequences: - if you increment a reference count, you will have a permanent memory leak - if you decrement a reference count, you will eventually crash the interpreter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
