Python 3000 C API Changes

[rahul]

I am trying to find out what Python C APIs are changing from Python
2.5 to Python 3.0 but there does not seem to be a single list of
changes (or at least google is not finding one).
If someone knows about where I should look, please let me know.

Yes, this is a bit of a problem at the moment. You could look at the
3.0 NEWS file: http://svn.python.org/view/python/branches/py3k/Misc/NEWS?view=markup.

Check out what Cython does in its module header, method
"generate_module_preamble". It has an (obviously incomplete) list of the most
important adaptations to write portable code for Py2.3 to 3.0.
