Correct. If you think this promise should be given explicitly in the documentation, feel free to propose a documentation patch. Of course, if the underlying (rather, encapsulating) PyObject goes away, the pointer becomes invalid. IIUC, you have some guarantee that the unicode object will stay available all the time.
