BoundMethodWeakref objects provide a mechanism for
referencing a bound method without requiring that the
method object itself (which is normally a transient
object) is kept alive. Instead, the BoundMethodWeakref
object keeps weak references to both the object and the
function which together define the instance method.
Attributes:
key -- the identity key for the reference, calculated
by the class's calculateKey method applied to the
target instance method
deletionMethods -- sequence of callable objects taking
single argument, a reference to this object which
will be called when *either* the target object or
target function is garbage collected (i.e. when
this object becomes invalid). These are specified
as the onDelete parameters of safeRef calls.
weakSelf -- weak reference to the target object
weakFunc -- weak reference to the target function
Class Attributes:
_allInstances -- class attribute pointing to all live
BoundMethodWeakref objects indexed by the class's
calculateKey(target) method applied to the target
objects. This weak value dictionary is used to
short-circuit creation so that multiple references
to the same (object, function) pair produce the
