'Safe' and reusable weak references to instance methods
BoundMethodWeakref objects provide a mechanism for
referencing a bound method without requiring that the
method object itself (which is normally a transient
object) is kept alive. Instead, the BoundMethodWeakref
object keeps weak references to both the object and the
function which together define the instance method.
- Attributes:
- key -- the identity key for the reference, calculated
- by the class's calculateKey method applied to the
target instance method
- deletionMethods -- sequence of callable objects taking
- single argument, a reference to this object which
will be called when either the target object or
target function is garbage collected (i.e. when
this object becomes invalid). These are specified
as the onDelete parameters of safeRef calls.

weakSelf -- weak reference to the target object
weakFunc -- weak reference to the target function
- Class Attributes:
- _allInstances -- class attribute pointing to all live
- BoundMethodWeakref objects indexed by the class's
calculateKey(target) method applied to the target
objects. This weak value dictionary is used to
short-circuit creation so that multiple references
to the same (object, function) pair produce the
same BoundMethodWeakref instance.
