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

/* Capsule objects let you wrap a C "void *" pointer in a Python
   object.  They're a way of passing data through the Python interpreter
   without creating your own custom type.

   Capsules are used for communication between extension modules.
   They provide a way for an extension module to export a C interface
   to other extension modules, so that extension modules can use the
   Python import mechanism to link to one another.

   For more information, please see "c-api/capsule.html" in the
   documentation.
