Coverity doesn't work on that level; it analyzes source code, and
knows about Python's INCREFs and DECREFs.

 As it seems to me, in Perl you have to be an expert to correctly make
 a nested data structure like, say, a list of hashes of instances.  In
 Python, you have to be an idiot not  to be able to do it, because you
 just write it down.             -- Peter Norvig, comp.lang.functional
