[Python-Dev] We got leaks!

[Kevin Jacobs]

First minimal test case:

  class Leaker(object):
    def __hash__(self): return 1

  for i in range(10):
      hash( Leaker() )
      print '*' * 10, 'total refs:', sys.gettotalrefcount()

In the context of the datetime objects, this leak only affects the Python
version.  It also requires that the Leaker class is a new-style object.

I'm in the process of isolating the other leak that hits both the Python and
C verions of datetime in the test_pickling() function, though I suspect that
may be other incarnations of the above problem.

Fun, fun!
