[issue13870] false comment in collections/__init__.py ordered dict

Jim Jewett report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Jim Jewett <jimjjewett at gmail.com>:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Lib/collections/__init__.py#l37 states that the prev/next links are weakref proxies; as of http://hg.python.org/cpython/diff/3977dc349ae7/Lib/collections.py this is no longer true of the next links.  

It could be fixed by changing

# The prev/next links are weakref proxies (to prevent circular references).

to 

# The prev links are weakref proxies (to prevent circular references).
