In Objects/*.c, I estimate there are 1153 functions by:

egrep -A 3 '^(static|_Py|Py)' *.c | egrep '\.c-\{' | wc

There are about 161 in my list of untested functions.
I created this report around Dec 14, but I don't think this # has changed too much. Although there may be about 10 more functions which were tested, since I remember Fred adding some tests. I don't know if the new tests were reflected.

So that's about 14% of functions in Objects/*.c are not called throughout all the regression tests.

I will try to run some updated reports to get more accurate info.

Some of the modules which had a larger # of untested functions include:

Objects/abstract.c
Objects/descrobject.c
Objects/typeobject.c
Objects/unicodeobject.c
Objects/weakrefobject.c
