Description Eitan Isaacson 2007-08-29 01:43:05 UTC 
We have very little information about a CORBA object's life cycle in python.
The following patch will allow examining the current reference count of a given object. This is useful when an application has data associated with a given CORBA object, and it needs indication as to when it could be disposed. See bug 469443.

Proposed patch

This adds a method to a CORBA object called _get_refcount(). Which does pretty much that.
Comment 2 Gustavo Carneiro 2007-08-29 11:10:05 UTC 
While I don't mind adding a method to retrieve the refcount, I don't think _get_refcount is the best method name for that.  The name refcount is too overloaded to be used without further context.  There is a python wrapper refcount, a ORBit stub (CORBA_Object) refcount, sometimes Bonobo refcount...

I would suggest a name like _get_orbit_object_refcount().  'orbit' in the name makes it clear it is an ORBit extension, not standard CORBA, orbit_object makes it clear it is about the corba object.
