Memory leaks and reference counter of an object

[Manfred Pisecky]

Hi folks!

Is there a way to get the value of the reference counter of an
arbitrary object from within Python code - of course immutable?

The reason is my need to detect a memory leak and I want to track some
objects and therefore I need to check their reference counter at the
time they should be released.

If you know a better resolution of memory leak detection I am glad,
too!

Thanks in advance
