Alexandre Vassalotti added the comment: I thought it over. I don't think the fix is appropriate for 2.x, as it seems closer to being an extra feature than a bug fix. Thanks Antoine for calling me out on this one. -- resolution: - wont fix stage: patch review - committed/rejected

Alexandre Vassalotti added the comment: Would you be okay with removing the static declaration of PyNotImplemented_Type and PyNone_Type if we prefix their name with an underscore? There isn't any other way to fix this without making the types linkable. I might revert the 2.7 change anyway as
