memory leak

Can python leak memory even if the reference count for all the objects 
is not increasing?

For example:

for i in range(N):
         print ref_count_all_objects()
         do_something()

and every iteration the ref count is constant but the memory usage is 
increasing. What are the likely
problems?

Thanks
