I have always found the management of reference counts to be one of the hardest things about the C api. I'm not sure exactly how C extensions would/should interact with a GC python. There seem to be different approaches eg lua & go are both GC languages but seem different in how C/GC memory should interact.
The conversation would be easier if the proper terms were used. Reference counting is a valid garbage collecting mechanism, therefore Python is also a GC language.
