I'm fine with giving it a public interface. Please submit a patch with docs included.

Hi, when we build extension classes in Cython, we have to first build the type to make it available to user code, and then update the type's tpdict while we run the class body code (PyObjectSetAttr() does not work here). In Py2.6+, this requires invalidating the method cache after each attribute change, which Python does internally using the typemodified() function. Could this function get a public interface? I do not think Cython is the only case where C code wants to modify a type after its creation, and copying the code over seems like a hack to me. Stefan
