Hello,
The "xxlimited" module (Modules/xxlimited.c) was added as part of PEP
384 (Defining a Stable ABI), and is undocumented. As far as I can tell,
it was added partly to test the stable ABI, and partly as an example of
how to write a module (like "xx" from xxmodule.c).
In the last few years the module has not seen much maintenance, and I
believe it's no longer a good example to follow: it works, but there are
now better ways to do things.
I would like to take over maintenance of the module and make it into an
example of how to write a low-level C extension with isolated module
state, as described in PEP 630 (Isolating Extension Modules) -- an
informational PEP that I plan to convert to a HOWTO doc when everything
is ready.
Please let me know if you think this isn't a good idea, or if there's
something I'm missing.
