Comment(by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:1 mabshoff]:
 > Ooops, but this does seem to expose some problems:

 Sorry, I did not do any tests, since I thought that weak references Just
 Work (c), and so the change from a dictionary to a WeakValueDictionary
 would be almost trivial.

 > And something this low level will definitely '''not''' go into 3.4.2 at
 this stage.

 Again sorry. Since I thought it is almost trivial, I concluded it could
 easily be in the next distribution.

 If weak references break cython code at a very fundamental level then I
 see ''no chance'' for my approach to work, unless Cython changes.

 Won't fix, then?
