- Usage of the "old" function pointer type name (e.g. intobjargproc) likely also indicates an error, since many of these pointers have changed there types. I believe the only exception for this is inquiry, which still has legit uses, in nbnonzero, tpclear, and tpisgc. is there a complete list of these somewhere ?

This is actually in the PEP: the new types are ssizeargfunc ssizessizeargfunc ssizeobjargproc ssizessizeobjargproc lenfunc readbufferproc writebufferproc segcountproc charbufferproc

These replace intargfunc intintargfunc intobjargproc intintobjargproc inquiry (partial) getreadbufferproc getwritebufferproc getsegcountproc getcharbufferproc
