[New-bugs-announce] [issue21286] Refcounting information missing in docs for Python 3.4 and above.

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson:

It looks as though the information from refcounts.dat isn't making it into the online docs for 3.4 and 3.5.  See e.g., the documentation for PyList_GetItem.  For 3.3 [2], there's a "Return value: Borrowed reference." annotation supplied by Sphinx's refcounting extension.  For the 3.4 and 3.5 docs that annotation is missing.

Issue originally reported by Jianfeng Mao on the python-dev mailing list [1].
