Hello python-dev. I'm working on a patch to remove reference cycles from heap-allocated classes: http://bugs.python.org/issue17950 Part of the patch involves making sure that descriptors in the class dictionary don't contain strong references to the class itself. This is item 2) in the defect description. I have implemented this via weak references and hit no issues at all when running the test suite. But I'd like to ask the oracle if there is anything I may be overlooking with this approach? Any hidden problems we might encounter?
