"""A subclass of unittest.TestCase which checks for reference leaks.

To use:
- Use testing_refleak.BaseTestCase instead of unittest.TestCase
- Configure and compile Python with --with-pydebug

If sys.gettotalrefcount() is not available (because Python was built without
the Py_DEBUG option), then this module is a no-op and tests will run normally.
