> However here's a proposed solution:

* for the __mro__: instead of using a tuple, use a new object that inherits 
from it. This new object should use weak reference for the first item and 
should return the real object (if available) only in __getitem__().

* __objclass__ can should become a property based on weak references.



I'm afraid doing so could cause some public C API change. For example, the 
PyDescr_TYPE, if we implemented all the Descriptor object's d_type(that is the 
__objclass__ of all types of descriptors) based on weakref, we could have all 
the callers who call the descriptor functions to check weather the 
weak-referented class object has gone away.
