The "tp_print" slot is still documented as it was in Py2, although it is no longer used in Py3.

http://docs.python.org/3.4/c-api/typeobj.html?highlight=tp_print#PyTypeObject.tp_print

Given that it no longer serves any purpose, it should at least be deprecated and documented as unused/ignored (and eventually removed completely, at the same time as tp_reserved).
