Possibly, if someone wants it enough to make a patch (including doc changes). There are many types that aren't exposed at the C level, BTW. Advertising their internals has an inhibiting effect on evolution. The generator type has been around long enough w/o change that the value in keeping it private has diminished.

Okay, here's a preliminary patch with genobject.[ch]:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=957398&group_id=5470&atid=305470

I assumed(yay) that py-dev would want it inline with how other core objects are managed(*object.[ch]), so I spun it out into its own files in /Object/genobject.c and /Include/genobject.h..

Of course, genobject.c references eval_frame(in ceval.c), which raises a problem; currently it is resolved in my tree by making a wrapper in ceval.c(PyEval_EvaluateFrame(){eval_frame()}). This is unlikely to be an acceptable solution, and I'm not sure how py-dev wants this to be handled.

Keep it in its own genobject.[ch] and get eval_frame how? Or keep it in ceval.[ch]?

The latter seems to be the right choice to me, but less pertty.
