In Python v3.2b1 the type of the first argument of PySlice_GetIndices() and PySlice_GetIndicesEx() has changed from PySliceObject* to PyObject*. The documentation does not reflect this change. Which is correct, the source code or the documentation?

The source is correct. Fixed in r87171.

You might want to add a "Changed in Python v3.2" because as it is an incompatible change.

It's not an incompatible change, but I added the versionchanged anyway in r87173.

It's source level incompatible - my extension modules compiled fine with v3.2a but failed with v3.2b1.

> It's source level incompatible - my extension modules compiled fine with v3.2a but failed with v3.2b1. That's because you are using C++, right? In C, there shouldn't be any problems.

For reference, this seems to affect SWIG, specifically, I'm seeing build failures using: /usr/share/swig/2.0.1/python/pycontainer.swg from swig-2.0.1 See downstream build failure report for znc, which uses swig to generate python 3 bindings: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666429
