I sometimes need to keep a reference from a transient object to a more permanent structure in my app. To save myself the extra step of removing all these references when the transient object is deleted, I make them weak references.
I don't see how weak references help here at all. If the transient object goes away, all references from it to the permanent objects also go away. A weak reference would only be of use if the reference went the other way, i.e. from the permanent object to the transient object. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
