Oh, but it does use weakrefs ...

But I would say that's a bug if the weakref usage in PyDS really 
triggers memory leaks, as  it's mostly stuff like "getToolByNamespace" 
and similar situations where weakrefs are used - so both weakrefs and 
normal refs would go out of scope anyway. Weakrefs came into play with 
0.7.1, I think.

I will check your gc.get_objects hint. Should be doable with a page in 
the StatusTool and some code that formats the output.
