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 (cherry picked from commit 4eb9f4313cfaea6a9611221024a1c54f5662cc37) Co-authored-by: Roger Hurwitz --- diff --git a/Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst b/Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst index c7ba74cc8d58..7300c802e081 100644 --- a/Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst +++ b/Doc/c-api/exceptions.rst @@ -971,9 +971,6 @@ Notes: This is a base class for other standard exceptions.
