Pablo proposed a PR to revert PyCode_New() API to Python 3.7 API: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13959 I dislike "PyCode_NewEx" name, it will become worse when another parameter will be added in the future. I prefer "With" naming. I prefer "PyCode_NewWithPosArgs()" name. For types.CodeType constructor, well, I added CodeType.replace() to help projects to be prepared for next CodeType constructor change :-) But *I* am fine with breaking this constructor since very few projects create explicitly code objects. > Our policy for such changes seems to be fragmented tribal knowledge.

The doc has been updated: https://bugs.python.org/issue36896 "If you instantiate any of these types, note that signatures may vary between Python versions." > There is a surprisingly large ecosystem of tools that create code objects. > The expectation seems to be that these tools will need to be adapted for > each minor version of Python. For PyCode_New() change, it seems like (almost?) only projects using Cython are affected, no? To not require Cython when they are installed, many projects include C files generated by Cython in their tarball (and other released files). So yeah, the PyCode_New() change is very annoying in practical, since every single project using Cython requires a new release in practice. For this reason, I'm in favor of reverting PyCode_New() API and add a new function with the extra positional only parameter. > Also, the expected level of API stability should be documented in the docs. Note: code.h header is excluded from the stable API :-) The whole file is surrounded by "#ifndef Py_LIMITED_API". Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
