Coverity has found something fishy in our code base:

CID 983564 (#1 of 1): Arguments in wrong order (SWAPPED_ARGUMENTS)swapped_arguments: The positions of arguments newto and oldto are inconsistent with the positions of the corresponding parameters for "compatible_for_assignment(PyTypeObject *, PyTypeObject *, char *)".

Object/typeobject.c:3326
    if (compatible_for_assignment(newto, oldto, "__class__")) {
Objects/typeobject.c.3265

static int
compatible_for_assignment(PyTypeObject* oldto, PyTypeObject* newto, char* attr)

Fortunately, compatible_for_assignment() handles both arguments exactly the same way, except maybe in error messages.
