I don't know how many of these can be reached from within the python (interpreter), some may only be callable from C code which embeds python.

I've added a few tests for the weakref support that should at least improve the coverage there. I don't think I'll have any more time to help in this effort before 2.2 goes out, but I think this is really important.

After improving test coverage, I'll go back and run purify to see if there are any new memory leaks.

Sorry, the list is kinda long. Let me know if there's a better way to distribute this info.

I can live with this distribution method; if it gets us to actually improve coverage, we all get to see the benefit of a shorter list. ;-)
