Benjamin Peterson <benja...@python.org> added the comment:

The documentation should be rewritten for clarity then. The reason you
can't take weakrefs of those types is because they are implemented as
"varsized" objects, so there is no constant place to add a weakref list
in the memory layout of the objects.
