Could you explain the details behind you weak reference 
implementation ?

I'm just asking, because there are quite a few different ways to
do this (mxProxy which is available from my Python Pages has 
a weak reference implementation too) and there is a PEP 205 which
aims at adding one sort of these to the Python core.

The mxProxy implementation uses (as the name implies), proxies
around objects to implement weak references. Other implementations
have focussed on dictionaries only and make their keys and/or
values use weak references.

A discussion of these different methods needs to go into the
PEP, so we might as well have it now ;-)

Thanks,
