Sorry about introducing this. Where can I subscribe to these automated
emails. Also, how do I go about running this locally? On default I tried
running
`./python -m test -l test_capi` did not print anything about leaks. I think
that
using `object.__new__` as a decorator here is the same as subclassing
object,
overriding __new__ and then making a call to `super().__new__` so I would
imagine this bug could appear in less "clever" situations. I would love to
help
fix this issue; Benjamin, you mentioned that you think that maybe all
heaptypes
should have gc, do you have a suggestion on where I can look in the code to
try
to make this change?
