Not all objects can be weakly referenced; those objects which can include class
instances, functions written in Python (but not in C), instance methods, sets,
frozensets, file objects, :term:`generator`\s, type objects, sockets, arrays,
-deques, and regular expression pattern objects.
+deques, regular expression pattern objects, and code objects.
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
- Added support for thread.lock and threading.Lock.
+ Added support for thread.lock, threading.Lock, and code objects.
Several built-in types such as :class:`list` and :class:`dict` do not directly
support weak references but can add support through subclassing::
PyObject *co_lnotab; /* string (encoding addr<->lineno mapping) See
Objects/lnotab_notes.txt for details. */
void *co_zombieframe; /* for optimization only (see frameobject.c) */
+ PyObject *co_weakreflist; /* to support weakrefs to code objects */
} PyCodeObject;
/* Masks for co_flags above */
