New submission from Mateusz Loskot mate...@loskot.net:
The chapter '2. Defining New Types in the Python 3.2 documentation [1] does
not cover all important elements, especially in the subsection 2.1.4.
Subclassing other types.
The accepted PEP 253 [2] provides much more detailed and thorough explanation
for Python C API users willing to define and subclass new types, than the
official manual.
I'd like to suggest update of the manual with information enclosed in the PEP
253. In fact, the PEP's sections like
* Preparing a type for subtyping
* Creating a subtype of a built-in type in C
could be copied with little editing, IMHO.
The PEP 253 really seems to be a must-read document for Python C API users.
