Struct PyWeakrefProxy 

pub struct PyWeakrefProxy(/* private fields */);

Represents any Python weakref Proxy type.

In Python this is created by calling weakref.proxy. This is either a weakref.ProxyType or a weakref.CallableProxyType (weakref.ProxyTypes).

Implementations

impl PyWeakrefProxy

TODO: UPDATE DOCS

pub fn new<'py>( object: &Bound<'py, PyAny>, ) -> PyResult<Bound<'py, PyWeakrefProxy>>

Constructs a new Weak Reference (weakref.proxy/weakref.ProxyType/weakref.CallableProxyType) for the given object.

Returns a TypeError if object is not weak referenceable (Most native types and PyClasses without weakref flag).

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyWeakrefProxy;

#[pyclass(weakref)]
struct Foo { /* fields omitted */ }

Python::attach(|py| {
    let foo = Bound::new(py, Foo {})?;
    let weakref = PyWeakrefProxy::new(&foo)?;
    assert!(
        // In normal situations where a direct `Bound<'py, Foo>` is required use `upgrade::<Foo>`
        weakref.upgrade().is_some_and(|obj| obj.is(&foo))
    );

    let weakref2 = PyWeakrefProxy::new(&foo)?;
    assert!(weakref.is(&weakref2));

    drop(foo);

    assert!(weakref.upgrade().is_none());
    Ok(())
})

pub fn new_with<'py, C>( object: &Bound<'py, PyAny>, callback: C, ) -> PyResult<Bound<'py, PyWeakrefProxy>>

where C: IntoPyObject<'py>,

Constructs a new Weak Reference (weakref.proxy/weakref.ProxyType/weakref.CallableProxyType) for the given object with a callback.

Returns a TypeError if object is not weak referenceable (Most native types and PyClasses without weakref flag) or if the callback is not callable or None.

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyWeakrefProxy;
use pyo3::ffi::c_str;

#[pyclass(weakref)]
struct Foo { /* fields omitted */ }

#[pyfunction]
fn callback(wref: Bound<'_, PyWeakrefProxy>) -> PyResult<()> {
        let py = wref.py();
        assert!(wref.upgrade_as::<Foo>()?.is_none());
        py.run(c"counter = 1", None, None)
}

Python::attach(|py| {
    py.run(c"counter = 0", None, None)?;
    assert_eq!(py.eval(c"counter", None, None)?.extract::<u32>()?, 0);
    let foo = Bound::new(py, Foo{})?;

    // This is fine.
    let weakref = PyWeakrefProxy::new_with(&foo, py.None())?;
    assert!(weakref.upgrade_as::<Foo>()?.is_some());
    assert!(
        // In normal situations where a direct `Bound<'py, Foo>` is required use `upgrade::<Foo>`
        weakref.upgrade().is_some_and(|obj| obj.is(&foo))
    );
    assert_eq!(py.eval(c"counter", None, None)?.extract::<u32>()?, 0);

    let weakref2 = PyWeakrefProxy::new_with(&foo, wrap_pyfunction!(callback, py)?)?;
    assert!(!weakref.is(&weakref2)); // Not the same weakref
    assert!(weakref.eq(&weakref2)?);  // But Equal, since they point to the same object

    drop(foo);

    assert!(weakref.upgrade_as::<Foo>()?.is_none());
    assert_eq!(py.eval(c"counter", None, None)?.extract::<u32>()?, 1);
    Ok(())
})

Trait Implementations

impl PyTypeCheck for PyWeakrefProxy

const NAME: &'static str = "weakref.ProxyTypes"

👎Deprecated since 0.27.0: Use ::classinfo_object() instead and format the type name at runtime. Note that using built-in cast features is often better than manual PyTypeCheck usage.

Name of self. This is used in error messages, for example.

const TYPE_HINT: TypeHint

Provides the full python type of the allowed values as a Python type hint.

fn type_check(object: &Bound<'_, PyAny>) -> bool

Checks if object is an instance of Self, which may include a subtype.

fn classinfo_object(py: Python<'_>) -> Bound<'_, PyAny>

Returns the expected type as a possible argument for the isinstance and issubclass function.
