python - Can a function reference avoid garbage collection?

Question

Working with some funcional programming, I started wondering how does the garbage collector behaves with function/method references (for C# and Python's GC).

Let object A be an instance of a class with a method foo() and object B be an instance of a class with a field keeping a reference to object A's foo() method. Suposing that there is no other object referencing object A other than object B's method reference, will object A be collected by the garbage collector?

And how this scenario behaves with lambda functions?
