Memory leak when recreating Player on loop in Python

[Architector4]

I have a Python script that I have running once a second, which uses Playerctl to fetch data about currently running players.

The only way I found to do so is to create a new Player for each player name from list_players(), because PlayerManager doesn't get information about newly appearing or closing players unless I recreate it in loop too. But this occupies more and more memory each time, even if invoke Python's garbage collector after each loop.

Same issue seems to occur even if I preserve

My script and the problem could be boiled down to this:

import gi
gi.require_version('Playerctl', '2.0')
from gi.repository import Playerctl

while True:
    for name in Playerctl.list_players():
        player = Playerctl.Player.new_from_name(name)
        #print(player.get_title())

Running this slowly drains more and more system memory. I may be missing a better way about this though, but I'm unsure.
