# Name

py-gco-stat - Statistics for Python GC Objects

This analyzer collects statistics on Python garbage collection objects to analyze memory usage patterns. It tracks the number and types of objects managed by Python’s garbage collector, providing insights into memory allocation behavior. The analyzer generates pie charts that visualize object distribution by type, helping identify memory leaks, excessive object creation, and memory optimization opportunities in Python applications.
