It appears weakrefs are only cleared if this is done by gc (where no
resurrection can happen anyway). If a resurrection-performing-__del__ is
just called by ref-count-drop-to-0, weakrefs persist -
How do you reach this conclusion?  The following test program seems to
show the opposite, by printing None on Python 2.7.6:

    import weakref
   class X(object):
        def __del__(self):
            print ref()
    x = X()
    ref = weakref.ref(x)
    del x

A bientôt,

Armin.
