Don’t just step through your code but also step through the C python code.
That will allow you to see how this works at a low level.

The convention for refcounting in CPython is that a function
takes borrowed references as arguments and returns a new
reference.
The 'self' argument passed in is a borrowed reference. If you
want to return it, you need to create a new reference by
increfing it.
So what you have written is just

No, the return value from your C function will *always*

So you're incrementing the refcount, then returning it without
incrementing the refcount. Your code is actually

I am writing a C extension module for an AVL tree, and I am trying to
ensure reference counting is done correctly. I was having a problem with
the reference counting so I worked up this little POC of the problem,
and I hope someone can explain this.
Extension function :
static PyObject
