Especially since, AIUI, deprecations are suppressed by default now. True, but developers are expected to run their tests with them enabled. I think everything here is as it should be. People who really cared about forwards compatibility could have known, but factually, most people don't care enough. Those then learn for the first time that some feature was deprecated after it is actually removed. They then ask why it is removed, and somebody will tell them.

I was not aware I could turn on deprecation warning for use of the C API. How can I do that?

The OP is actually wrong that this isn't documented in "what's new"; there is an item about it in the "porting to 3.2" section.

O.k. I see that now. I searched for the API call that vanished and came up empty. I did not think to search for cobject or read the porting section.

BTW the link on http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2/ to what's new points to the 3.3a0 whats new page.
