I see that the current documentation of Py_TYPE, Py_REFCNT ans Py_SIZE suggest that using them as lvalues is perfectly valid. There is no mention that anything changed.
Oh, it seems like https://docs.python.org/dev/ is no longer updated for an unknown reason.
The documentation was updated.
If you look into the up to date Git repository, Py_TYPE() got a ".. versionchanged:: 3.10" markup, and the change is mentioned in "Porting to Python 3.10: C API Changes" section of What's New in Python 3.10. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Doc/c-api/structures.rst
AFAIK, the deprecation period should be at least a release. Wouldn't that translate to documenting the new behavior 3.10, but only actually breaking in 3.11?
