I've written this small class in Pyhon that wraps bound methods but does not prevent the deletion of self. Do you have any though on my code? Do you think I handle errors appropriately? Is it missing anything, what should be done to make it more robust? Is the documentation clear enough?

    import weakref
    
    class WeakBoundMethod:
        """
        Wrapper around a method bound to a class instance. As opposed to bare
        bound methods, it holds only a weak reference to the `self` object,
        allowing it to be deleted.
        
        This can be useful when implementing certain kinds of systems that
        manage callback functions, such as an event manager.
        
        """
        def __init__(self, meth):
            """
            Initializes the class instance. It should be ensured that methods
            passed through the `meth` parameter are always bound methods. Static
            methods and free functions will produce an `AssertionError`.

            assert (hasattr(meth, '__func__') and hasattr(meth, '__self__')),\

            self._self = weakref.ref(meth.__self__)
            self._func = meth.__func__

            Any arguments passed to this will also be forwarded to the method.
            
            In case an exception is raised by the bound method, it will be
            caught and thrown again to the caller of this `WeakBoundMethod` object.
            
            Calling this on objects that have been collected will result in
            an `AssertionError` being raised.
