[issue24123] Python 2.7 Tutorial Conflicting behavior with WeakValueDictionary.

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Well, technically it is probably not a bug.  IPython is doubtless holding on to a reference to 'a' because it was defined at the prompt.  Perhaps it could use a weakvaluedict for that, though :)  On the other hand they might consider it a feature that objects don't go out of scope.
