The number of references to an object. When the reference count of an
object drops to zero, it is deallocated. Reference counting is
generally not visible to Python code, but it is a key element of the
:term:`CPython` implementation. The :mod:`sys` module defines a
:func:`~sys.getrefcount` function that programmers can call to return the
:term:`CPython` implementation. Programmers can call the
:func:`sys.getrefcount` function to return the
reference count for a particular object.
