Shouldn't the documentation be updated? https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/weakref.html#weakref.WeakKeyDictionary Note Caution: Because a WeakKeyDictionary is built on top of a Python dictionary, it must not change size when iterating over it. This can be difficult to ensure for a WeakKeyDictionary because actions performed by the program during iteration may cause items in the dictionary to vanish “by magic” (as a side effect of garbage collection).
