I am not expert in C and Python as the rest of the folks on this list but I am pretty good with Python itself. I just suggested naming to be as simple as possible for all relevant API's including full descriptions in the code base regarding stable, semi-stable, unstable and so forth. I do that in my projects with Python libraries I write ... Sorry for intruding and possibly clouding the email thread... Regards,
