bpo-38006: Avoid closure in weakref.WeakValueDictionary (GH-15641) (GH-15789)

vstinner · web-flow · commit 23669330b7d0 · 2019-09-10T00:31:20.000+02:00
weakref.WeakValueDictionary defines a local remove() function used as callback for weak references. This function was created with a closure. Modify the implementation to avoid the closure. (cherry picked from commit a2af05a)
