Mostly structmember.h and structseq.h, less often code.h, compile.h,
frameobject.h, marshal.h. Aside from the ones that are already prefixed with
'py' and not included by Python.h (pythread.h, pyexpat.h maybe?) I'm not
sure which should really be public. Both structmember.h and structseq.h are
generally useful to extension modules -- I've used both, although I don't
think I would have used structseq if I wasn't already quite aware of it. The
rest is useful only for extension modules that want to muck about with
internals (like profilers, debuggers, custom marshalmunching and nasty
extension modules that want to hook into Python internals that are not
easily hooked into) and they will have to deal with less backward
compatibility at the source and binary level anyway -- let them fix their
imports.
