Reflecting changes to the code, removed weakref.ReferenceError from weakref.rst and exceptions.rst.
Issue submitter provided evidence that the
weakref.ReferenceError
alias forReferenceError
was removed from the code in 2007. Working with @gvanrossum at PyCascades CPython sprint we looked at the code and confirmed thatweakref.ReferenceError
was no longer inweakref.py
.Based on that analysis I removed references
weakref.ReferenceError
from the two documents where it was still being referenced:weakref.rst
andexceptions.rst
