[Bug 1092117] Re: failed to import snack

[Mitsuya Shibata]

_Py_RefTotal is defined in libpython2.7.so for Python/C API.
http://docs.python.org/2/c-api/refcounting.html

However according to Objects/object.c in python2.7, it seems that
this symbol is defined debug build only.:
---
#ifdef Py_REF_DEBUG
Py_ssize_t _Py_RefTotal;
---
