[Python-Dev] negative ref count on windows debug version

[Dr.-Ing. Ingo D. Rullhusen]

Hello,

using

loc = PyDict_New();
Py_XDECREF(loc);

or

PyObject *src = Py_CompileString( code.toStdString().c_str(),
"<console>", Py_single_input );
Py_XDECREF(src);

results in a "object at blahblah has negative ref count -1" error on
windows visual studio in debug mode. And yes, python is compiled and
linked in debug mode also. The release version seems to work.

This happens in version 2.6.7 and 2.7.2.

Any hints?

Thanks
   Ingo
