[Python-Dev] UNREF invalid object

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

Hello!

I've been playing with the bz2module to remove the file inheritance, as
requested. While doing so, I've got the "UNREF invalid object" error
when trying to run PyObject_Del(), inside a dealloc function, on an
object which is not "externally" accessible (it's part of the class
structure only, and has obj->ob_refcnt == 1, as expected). I'll replace
the PyObject_Del() by Py_DECREF() which fixes the problem and feels more
elegant to me anyway.  OTOH, I wouldn't like to get over the problem
without knowing what's really happening. Is this a common problem
pattern?

Thanks!
