I personally don't think that a transition period would be a useful thing to have, in particular not if it goes like this: - in version A, require use of PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN - in version A+1, make use of PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN redundant So I'd rather drop PY_SSIZE_T clean altogether from 3.2, and risk any breakage that this may cause.
