Add use_weakref option to functools.lru_cache The use_weakref option makes lru_cache create weak references to the function arguments when creating the cache key, which prevents them from staying in the memory forever even after all other references to them are gone. This is a proof of concept for http://bugs.python.org/issue19859

# A test for SF bug 422177:  manifest float constants varied way too much in
# precision depending on whether Python was loading a module for the first
# time, or reloading it from a precompiled .pyc.  The "expected" failure
# mode is that when test_import imports this after all .pyc files have been
# erased, it passes, but when test_import imports this from
# double_const.pyc, it fails.  This indicates a woeful loss of precision in
# the marshal format for doubles.  It's also possible that repr() doesn't
# produce enough digits to get reasonable precision for this box.
