> If the API can still change (msg287083), I think I'll wait with this until shortly before 3.7 beta. I do not understand why Serhiy keeps repeating that the API is going to change, I have no such plan. IMHO the FASTCALL API is now very well defined: (PyObject *args, Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject kwnames), and helper functions are now well tested. We might optimize Argument Clinic further, but for decimal, it seems like it's a no-no and that direct usage of METH_FASTCALL is preferred. So no, I don't plan or expect any API change.

I do not understand why Serhiy keeps repeating that the API is going to change, I have no such plan. IMHO the FASTCALL API is now very well defined: (PyObject **args, Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwnames), and helper functions are now well tested.
