New submission from Ryan Govostes <rgovos...@gmail.com>:
The documentation for weakref.proxy() does not describe how the proxy object behaves when the object it references is gone. The apparent behavior is that it raises a ReferenceError when an attribute of the proxy object is accessed. It would probably be a good idea to describe what the proxy object does in general, for those who are unfamiliar with the concept: attribute accesses on the proxy object are forwarded to the referenced object, if it exists. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 382319 nosy: docs@python, rgov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: weakref documentation does not fully describe proxies versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42542> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
