PythonMemory ManagementWeakrefsadvanced

What this snippet does

Built-in types like lists and dicts do not support weakrefs directly.

Expected output

cannot create weak reference to 'list' object

Why practise typing this

Typing memory management code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
