New submission from Josh Rosenberg: In weakref.finalize's documentation ( https://docs.python.org/3/library/weakref.html#weakref.finalize ), it says:
"A finalizer will never invoke its callback during the later part of the interpreter shutdown when module globals are liable to have been replaced by None." While it may not invoke its callback during shutdown (I don't know if it does, or if it should), as of Python 3.4 (which is when weakref.finalize was introduced), module globals aren't set to None anymore, right? https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.4.html#whatsnew-pep-442 Presumably the docs should be updated not to mention a behavior that no longer occurs (and if it will or should be invoked, weakref.finalizer should have documentation or code updated). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 252504 nosy: docs@python, josh.r priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: weakref.finalize documentation refers to old interpreter shutdown behavior versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25337> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
