This is best done when Python is build in debug mode. sys.gettotalrefcount then gives you the number of INCREF calls for which no DECREF has been made; you said that this shouldn't change. If it does change, sys.get_counts() will give you the number of objects per type. Furthermore, sys.getobjects() will give you a list of all objects allocated (excluding the result list).
