[New-bugs-announce] [issue32354] Unclear intention of deprecating Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER / Py_UNICODE_TOUPPER

[Campbell Barton]

New submission from Campbell Barton <ideasman42 at gmail.com>:

Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER / Py_UNICODE_TOUPPER are marked as deprecated in the docs.

https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/unicode.html?highlight=py_unicode_tolower#c.Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER

Someone submitted a patch to our project which uses these.

What is unclear, is if there is an intention to replace these (wrappers for '_PyUnicode_ToLowerFull' for eg).

Or if this will be removed without any alternative.

I assume the functionality will be kept somewhere since Python needs str.lower/upper.

Will there be a way to perform this in the future? Either way, could docs be updated to reflect this?
