Those changes are really helpful.  I just added code to display the 
total number of objects in the Python interpreter (len(gc.get_objects()) 
with each iteration as well, as that can be useful.  (It doesn't rule 
out memory leaks, but if it is increasing, that is definitely a problem.)

I also added a commandline option to print out any cycles involving 
uncollectable objects, and added the necessary function to do so to 
cbook.py.
