These methods are completely missing from the documentation found here: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/typeobj.html

Maybe they are missing because they don’t exist in Python 3 :) <https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/v3.5.1/Include/object.h#l291> Perhaps what is needed instead is a list of the actual fields in order, since I assume Python supports compilers that can’t use the designated initializer (PySequenceMethods){.sq_contains=...} syntax.

Ah yes. The fields are still there, though, just marked as not used. Interestingly enough they aren't documented in the Python 2 documentation either....and they are in the Python 2.7 headers I have (not marked as unused either). Your suggestion makes sense. The reason I ran into it is I followed an example found in the core code for Python 3.5.1....which referenced sq_slice and sq_ass_slice in the order they are defined in the structure...
