From 4eb9f4313cfaea6a9611221024a1c54f5662cc37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Hurwitz Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2020 22:56:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] bpo-38374: Remove weakref.ReferenceError from docs (GH-18452) Reflecting changes to the code, removed weakref.ReferenceError from weakref.rst and exceptions.rst. Issue submitter provided evidence that the `weakref.ReferenceError` alias for `ReferenceError` was removed from the code in 2007. Working with @gvanrossum at PyCascades CPython sprint we looked at the code and confirmed that `weakref.ReferenceError` was no longer in `weakref.py`. Based on that analysis I removed references `weakref.ReferenceError` from the two documents where it was still being referenced: `weakref.rst` and `exceptions.rst`. https://bugs.python.org/issue38374 --- Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst | 3 --- Doc/library/weakref.rst | 6 ------ 2 files changed, 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst b/Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst index 2edcbf788d2..b7175166a6f 100644 --- a/Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst +++ b/Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst @@ -983,9 +983,6 @@ Notes: This is a base class for other standard exceptions.
