According to the doc:

    :class:`partial` objects are like :class:`function` objects in that they are callable, weak referencable, and can have attributes.

I don't understand why "weak" here, and it's the only occurence of "weak referencable" in the documentation.

I don't see an object in Python being referencable but NOT weak referencable, do I miss something obvious here?
