Comment (by nbruin):

 Incidentally, I think we can do away with the `_IterationContext` by using
 a `try/finally`:
 {{{
 cython("""
 def gen():
     try:
         while True:
             yield 1
     finally:
         print "finally clause executed"
 """)
 sage: G=gen()
 sage: G.next()
 1
 sage: del G
 finally clause executed
 sage: G=gen()
 sage: del G  #code is never entered, so `try/finally` clause is also not
 encountered
 }}}
 So instead of using a `with` context manager, I think we can get away with
 writing our iterators as
 {{{
         cdef PyObject *key, *wr
         cdef Py_ssize_t pos = 0
         try:
             self._enter_iter()
             while PyDict_Next(self, &pos, &key, &wr):
                 #this check doesn't really say anything: by the time
                 #the key makes it to the customer, it may have already
 turned
                 #invalid. It's a cheap check, though.
                 if PyWeakref_GetObject(wr)!=Py_None:
                     yield <object>key
         finally:
             self._exit_iter()
 }}}
 where `_enter_iter` and `_exit_iter` can be the `__enter__` and `__exit__`
 methods on `_IterationContext`, adapted to be methods of
 `WeakValueDictionary` immediately. That saves us a weakref and an extra
 class (see pushed commit).
