New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com>: Currently types.SimpleNamespace does not support weak references. Amaury asked for this in #14673, but I'd like to see more discussion. What are the use cases for weak references in this case?
The type is a simple wrapper around dict, which does not support weak references. In fact most of the builtin types do not support them. However, I freely admit that I haven't used weak references very much and am not familiar with the use cases. ---------- messages: 162323 nosy: amaury.forgeotdarc, eric.snow priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: add weakref support to types.SimpleNamespace type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
