Hi Guido,
I guess I didn't think it through. Thanks for all your comments!

Wenjun,
I feel we're just not communicating. Your suggestion seems to be a solution
in search of a problem. And now you're making more super speculative
suggestions. How much do you actually know about Python's internals? It's
not at all like C++, where I could see the distinction between user
Hi Guido,
Thank you for bearing with me. I wasn't trying to say you guys are mean btw.
I thought that the interpreter might allocate some memory for its own use.
Perhaps I was wrong, but I'll work with your examples here just to be sure.
Stack frames would be considered as interpreter objects

Hi Barry,
It's not just about leaks. You might want to know if certain objects are
occupying a lot of memory by themselves. Then you can optimize the memory
usage of these objects.
Another possibility is to do binary instrumentation and see how the user
code is interacting with objects. If we

Hi Guido,
It's great to hear from you directly :)
Sorry for not mentioning this earlier. The use case here is profiling.
Specifically, Scalene: https://github.com/emeryberger/scalene.
At the moment, Scalene does stack inspection to decide if an allocation is
from the user. If there are hooks
What purpose do you have in mind for making this distinction? Even if it
could be done easily (which I doubt), why would this be useful?
