Given these numbers, I don't think the subject line really captures the problem accurately enough ... a 2% increase in number of API function per release can hardly be called API bloat :-) > So given, the revised numbers; > > The "what's new for 3.2" API section: > http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/whatsnew/3.2.html#build-and-c-api-changes > lists 6 new functions, yet 14 have been added between 3.1.3 and 3.2b2. Could you identify the ones that are not yet documented ? That would be useful.
