The example uses PyInstanceObject which is Python 2 only (old-style classes).

https://docs.python.org/3/extending/newtypes.html still refers to PyInstanceObject, I'm sorry but I've no idea what the replacement is called, so I'll leave this to someone in the know.

The documentation has been modernized in https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/1d80a561734b9932961c546b0897405a3bfbf3e6 and the "Weak Reference Support" section has been updated to show the modern way of adding weakref support:
