   I agree, and for the record, we were using it for debugging when I 
started this thread - trying to track down a memory leak. :-)

   gc.get_objects() turned out to be of great help with in resolving the 
issue - in the end we tracked it down to a typical reference counting 
problem in a Python extension DLL. *doh*
