The CObject API was deprecated in Python 3.1 before its complete
removal in 3.2. Its deprecation and planned replacement with the
Capsule API was mentioned briefly in the 3.1 What's New document and a
deprecation warning and redirection were included in the 3.1
documentation:
http://docs.python.org/release/3.1.3/c-api/cobject.html

Details on the API replacement can be found here:
http://bugs.python.org/issue5630

Cheers,
Nick.
