gc questions

[Edward K. Ream]

Many thanks, Jeremy, for these hints.  Yes, a dictionary speeds things up a
lot.  dict[o] = o won't work for unhashable objects o, so here is the code I
use.  It seems reliable and fast:

    global lastObjectsDict

    objects = gc.get_objects()
    newObjects = [o for o in objects if not lastObjectsDict.has_key(id(o))]

    lastObjectsDict = {}
    for o in objects:
        lastObjectsDict[id(o)]=o

    print "%d new, %d total objects" % (len(newObjects),len(objects))

P.S. I was confused because my code has no __del__ methods.  But Tkinter
does.
