I was not aware I could turn on deprecation warning for use of the C API.
How can I do that?

O.k. I see that now. I searched for the API call that vanished and came up
empty. I did not think to search for cobject or read the porting section.

BTW the link on http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2/
to what's new points to the 3.3a0 whats new page.
