Doh! It turned out the strange effect was due to my particular build process. My Python 2.6/3.1 are built using our own SCons-based build and the corresponding Makefile that distutils then uses didn't have the same DEFINEs. So, the Python was built with Py_REF_DEBUG, but Py_REF_DEBUG was not defined when I built my extension module. Which fscked up the *total* reference counting (sys.gettotalrefcount()). -- Gerhard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
