I don't think it should be in the gc module, but I would prefer it be enabled and controlled through a separate module, rather than something Python does automatically for your convenience. The os module would seem to be the place to enable/disable tracking of OS level resource leaks (i.e. file descriptors and possible HANDLES on Windows).

Heh, I was expecting the sys module to be the natural choice because this would be changing interpreter behaviour. It's just random bikeshedding at this point however.
