I would imagine that doc fixes would be gratefully accepted. Or if they are rejected, that rejection would be confirmation that the support is intended as an implementation detail (and a fix to the documentation to explicitly state that would be reasonable). Personally, I'd expect that the intention is that you can rely on it. Paul -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
