[Python-Dev] C API doc question (original) (raw)

Due to the Unicode API discussion, I happened to be looking at the C API docs at http://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/unicode.html#plain-py-unicode and noticed that out of:

PyUnicode_FromUnicode PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize PyUnicode_FromString PyUnicode_FromFormat PyUnicode_FromFormatV PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject PyUnicode_FromObject

only the first and the last two are flagged in the online docs as returning a new reference. The other 4 are not (but probably should be).

However, I can't see anything in the markup which is even causing those "Return value: New reference" markings to appear in the first place, nor any clues in the Documenting Python info. What am I missing?

Cheers, Nick.
