I'm not sure I understand what's being labeled "notlimited". But it seems to be a tautology that the stable API/ABI is not changing. So I think it makes more sense to label those as "stableabi" and be finished with this task, rather than trying to remember to add some markup every time we add a new function. -- Eric. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
