The issue title is misleading, it says "Deprecate structmember.h". Is the plan still to deprecate it? Or to make it usable in the limited C API? Please update the title.

As far as I understand it: The attached diff, moves the interesting declaration to `object.h` solving the limited API problem. And only leaves structmember.h around for backward compatibility for people using the "old" names `READONLY` or `RESTRICTED`. So in that sense it does deprecate structmember.h But indeed I hijacked this issue with my complaints about the limited API which may not have been the original intention here, but they get solved nonetheless. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue2897> _______________________________________
