Alex Gaynor added the comment: Unfortunately it can't be a weakref in python2 :-(
In Python3 socket._socketobject *subclasses* _socket.socket, so when we pass "self" to stuff, it's has the right C-level fields but it's also a Python-levle object so it can have a weakref. In Python2 socket._socketobject composes with _socket.socket, so we pass "self._sock", that way it has teh right C-level fields. Unfortunately taking a weakref of _socket.socket is not allowed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22559> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
