Error with save weakref object

Hi there, I got an error when I call torch.save to save my pickle file but I got an error below, please let me know what’s does this mean and how to fix it. Thanks!

TypeError: can’t pickle weakref objects

Hi,

The problem is that the model you try to save contains weakref python objects. Such objects are not supported by python’s pickle module.
You might want to check your model and see why you have weakrefs in it.

Thank you, what are wearef python objects? @albanD

You can find it in the python documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/weakref.html .

then, how to change the weakref model, to strenght?

is it possible to get changed?
