Return a weak reference to \var{object}. The original object can be
retrieved by calling the reference object if the referent is still
alive; if the referent is no longer alive, calling the reference
- object will cause \code{None} to be returned. If \var{callback} is
- provided, it will be called when the object is about to be
+ object will cause \constant{None} to be returned. If \var{callback} is
+ provided and not \constant{None},
+ it will be called when the object is about to be
finalized; the weak reference object will be passed as the only
parameter to the callback; the referent will no longer be available.

If the referent no longer exists, calling the reference object returns
