Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
Instead of tp_reserved, the name should be tp_deprecated_compare.
There should be a python-dev discussion around when to actually remove
the slot:
3.0.1 -- binary incompatibility between minor releases (BAD)
3.1.0 -- uncomfortable for writers who have to add #ifdefs
4.0.0 -- no pain, just wasted space
3.1.5 -- just plain mean :-)
