[New-bugs-announce] [issue23841] py34 OrderedDict is using weakref for root reference

[sorin]

New submission from sorin:

The standard library implementation of an OrderedDict (which is included in Python 3.4) uses a weakref for the root reference. 
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/534b26837a13/Lib/collections/__init__.py#l74

This was reported initially on https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/2303 and at the moment there are no known workarounds.
