Why redundant? > http://docs.python.org/py3k/c-api/exceptions.html#unicode-exception-objects > Should this be in the public API? While this question is valid, it *should* have been asked 8 years ago, when the functions were actually added. They are new in the docs because they weren't documented before. Otherwise they would have a "New in version 3.2" tag. > Is there any kind of review system (like PEPs) for modifying the C API? No, but python-dev is involved by either a thread here or an issue that is then OK'd by several developers. > Are bug-fix updates really the place to modify the API? No, but that's not relevant here. > Could the API be reverted to the 3.1 version plus any *necessary* > changes in time for the 3.2 release? Any changes in API are definitely forbidden before 3.2.
