Description Nikos Kouremenos 2005-07-08 14:00:15 UTC 
.free() is not needed. you may as well remove documentation for it [the best
IMO] or have it with a desc that will say it's a leftover (eg. you don't have to
use it)

the first makes more sense because if you don'th ave to use it then API
shouldn't mention it.

the fact that you don't have to use it is confirmed by jdahlin
Comment 1 John Finlay 2005-07-08 18:40:55 UTC 
There are several of these free methods "leftover". These all need to be marked
as deprecated and/or removed and then the docs can be updated to match.
Comment 2 Nikos Kouremenos 2005-07-08 21:05:01 UTC 
okay I hope pygtk-devs make the right decision and deprecated them
Comment 3 Gustavo Carneiro 2005-07-10 12:11:54 UTC 
This is similar to bug 306095.  Memory management of boxed types in PyGTK is
automatic, and copy/free methods should not even be in the API.
Comment 4 Nikos Kouremenos 2005-09-08 18:02:32 UTC 
Gustavo, so fix and apply in 2.9?
Comment 5 Gustavo Carneiro 2006-04-02 17:49:16 UTC 
Marked as deprecated in the code; over to documentation..
Comment 6 John Finlay 2006-04-02 19:27:50 UTC 
Already deprecated in the docs.
