Description

I'm sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but I'm running Jupyter, Python 2.7, Windows, and Ipython notebook. I have installed graphviz and xdot.

from StringIO import StringIO
import objgraph

x = [[1,2,3], 4,5,6]
objgraph.show_refs([x], output=StringIO())

I don't see anything when I run this.

Research direction

Reproduce the supplied objgraph.show_refs snippet in the stated Jupyter, Python 2.7, and Windows environment, checking how its StringIO output is handled. Compare the observed behavior with objgraph's documented output expectations; done means the graph is visible or the limitation and required usage are clearly documented.
