Since trace is documented and rx_blank isn't covered, I think it's pretty clear it was never intended as API. I'd be fine with changing the visibility of rx_blank, and see no need to change its name. > Another specific case is token.main. See <http://bugs.python.org/issue10386>. Yep. Again, it's clear that it's not API, and that's a documented module. -Fred -- Fred L.
