New submission from Berker Peksag: Looks like READ_RESTRICTED, PY_WRITE_RESTRICTED and RESTRICTED flags were used for "restricted mode" [1] in Python 2. "restricted mode" has been deprecated in Python 2.3. Also, the current documentation is outdated. WRITE_RESTRICTED is now PY_WRITE_RESTRICTED: https://docs.python.org/3/extending/newtypes.html#generic-attribute-management
There are a few usages of these flags in the CPython source: PY_WRITE_RESTRICTED * Objects/funcobject.c * Objects/methodobject.c RESTRICTED * Objects/funcobject.c * Objects/classobject.c Are they still useful or can we deprecate/remove them now?
