I'd recommend looking at the "Louie" package:

http://louie.berlios.de/
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/Louie [for download]

... which does essentially the same thing (it uses weak refs, too).
I've been using Louie along with my wxPython app for some time
without problems, and I like the way this preserves orthogonality
between my app's publish/subscribe architecture and its GUI
aspect.

If there is something in pubsub that Louie doesn't do, send a
patch to Patrick K. O'Brien or Mike Fletcher.  ;)

Cheers,
Steve
