[issue42945] weakref.finalize documentation contradicts itself RE: finalizer callback or args referencing object

[Ryan Heisler]

Perfect, thanks for your quick response. I was passing a bound method of obj as the func to `weakref.finalize(obj, func, /, *args, **kwargs)`. It slipped my mind that an instance variable like self.name and a bound method like self.clean_up, though they both belong to self, would be evaluated differently.

For anyone wondering, I was looking for weakref.proxy (https://docs.python.org/3/library/weakref.html#weakref.proxy) or weakref.WeakMethod (https://docs.python.org/3/library/weakref.html#weakref.WeakMethod)
