Mailman 3 PEP7 may need to add a info - Python-ideas

Dec. 3, 2021


      Hi!
When I read PEP7 and check Cpython source code, I found a deficiency that in https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0007/#code-lay-out.
In this section, document said that 
'''
For external functions and variables, we always have a declaration in an appropriate header file in the "Include" directory, which uses the PyAPI_FUNC() macro, like this:
PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject *) PyObject_Repr(PyObject *);
'''
but when i check python 3.7.12+ and python 2.7.13, external variables actually uses the PyAPI_DATA() macro, like this:
'''
PyAPI_DATA(PyTypeObject) PySuper_Type; /* built-in 'super' */
'''
I wondered whether my error or the document error.
