Tracemalloc only handles PyRefTracer_CREATE events and we don't have any tests for PyRefTracer_DESTROY events.

EDIT: _testcapimodule.c tests PyRefTracer_DESTROY events, but only through the C API and not the Python interpreter.

There is a super-basic reftracer test in _testcapimodule.c, but no python interface that I can see, so added one to tracemalloc module to keep track of created and destroyed refs. Do you want this?

Example:

import tracemalloc

tracemalloc.start()

refs = tracemalloc.get_traced_refs()
print(refs)

tracemalloc.reset_peak()
i = []
refs = tracemalloc.get_traced_refs()
print(refs)

tracemalloc.reset_peak()
j = [], []
del j
refs = tracemalloc.get_traced_refs()
print(refs)

import ssl
refs = tracemalloc.get_traced_refs()
print(refs)

tracemalloc.stop()

Run:

$ ./python reftrace.py
