!   \item Two new wrapper functions, \cfunction{PyOS_snprintf()} and
!   \cfunction{PyOS_vsnprintf()} were added.   which provide a cross-platform
!   implementations for the relatively new snprintf()/vsnprintf() C lib
!   APIs. In contrast to the standard sprintf() and vsprintf() C lib
!   APIs, these versions apply bounds checking on the used buffer which
!   enhances protection against buffer overruns.

!  
!   \item Two new flags \constant{METH_NOARGS} and \constant{METH_O} are
!    available in method definition tables to simplify implementation of
!    methods with no arguments or a single untyped argument. Calling
!    such methods is more efficient than calling a corresponding method
!    that uses \constant{METH_VARARGS}. 
!    Also, the old \constant{METH_OLDARGS} style of writing C methods is 
!    now officially deprecated.

!    Two new wrapper functions, \cfunction{PyOS_snprintf()} and

!    contrast to the standard \cfunction{sprintf()} and
!    \cfunction{vsprintf()} functions, the Python versions check the
!    bounds of the buffer used to protect against buffer overruns.
