It would be helpful if you explained the context of your request. E.g. did you have some code that broke due to a change in one of these functions, or are you contemplating a change to one of them? And specifics of what broke or what you're contemplating.

Hello,

I have a question about PEP 384: can undocumented functions ever be considered as part of the stable ABI? With undocumented, I mean not appearing in the "Python/C API Reference Manual". Whatever the answer to this question is, it would be good to make it explicit in PEP 384. I am in particular asking about functions starting with PyCFunction appearing in Include/methodobject.h

Thanks, Jeroen.
