http://bugs.python.org/issue8649 - PyUNICODE* functions are undocumented Opened since 3 months. It looks like programmers don't like writing documentation :-)

In this case, "C programmers think C stdlib function names are intuitive" may be closer to the mark ;)

Cheers, Nick.

P.S. More seriously, these particular functions really are just like the standard C function of the same name, only operating on Py_UNICODE* rather than char*, so I can understand documentation being skipped when they were added. However, they may as well be mentioned in http://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/unicode.html#plain-py-unicode
