-.. index:: object: CObject
-
-
-.. warning::
-
-   The CObject API is deprecated as of Python 3.1.  Please switch to the new
-   :ref:`capsules` API.
-
-.. ctype:: PyCObject
-
-   This subtype of :ctype:`PyObject` represents an opaque value, useful for C
-   extension modules who need to pass an opaque value (as a :ctype:`void\*`
-   pointer) through Python code to other C code.  It is often used to make a C
-   function pointer defined in one module available to other modules, so the
-   regular import mechanism can be used to access C APIs defined in dynamically
-   loaded modules.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: int PyCObject_Check(PyObject *p)
-
-   Return true if its argument is a :ctype:`PyCObject`.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyCObject_FromVoidPtr(void* cobj, void (*destr)(void *))
-
-   Create a :ctype:`PyCObject` from the ``void *`` *cobj*.  The *destr* function
-   will be called when the object is reclaimed, unless it is *NULL*.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyCObject_FromVoidPtrAndDesc(void* cobj, void* desc, void (*destr)(void *, void *))
-
-   Create a :ctype:`PyCObject` from the :ctype:`void \*` *cobj*.  The *destr*
-   function will be called when the object is reclaimed. The *desc* argument can
-   be used to pass extra callback data for the destructor function.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: void* PyCObject_AsVoidPtr(PyObject* self)
-
-   Return the object :ctype:`void \*` that the :ctype:`PyCObject` *self* was
-   created with.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: void* PyCObject_GetDesc(PyObject* self)
-
-   Return the description :ctype:`void \*` that the :ctype:`PyCObject` *self* was
-   created with.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: int PyCObject_SetVoidPtr(PyObject* self, void* cobj)
-
-   Set the void pointer inside *self* to *cobj*. The :ctype:`PyCObject` must not
-   have an associated destructor. Return true on success, false on failure.

 Core and Builtins
 -----------------
 
+- The deprecated PyCObject has been removed.
+
 - Issue #6347: Include inttypes.h as well as stdint.h in pyport.h.
   This fixes a build failure on HP-UX: int32_t and uint32_t are
   defined in inttypes.h instead of stdint.h on that platform.
