Struct definitions in the documentation differ from the implementation · Issue #159808 · python/cpython · GitHub

PyTypeObject: the documentation copy omits _tp_iteritem and _tp_cache, which are present in the header.
PyMemberDef: the documentation copy declares offset as int; the header uses Py_ssize_t.
struct _frozen: the documentation copy declares is_package as bool; the header uses int.
PySlot: the documentation copy has a direct _reserved member; the header has sl_reserved inside an anonymous union.

PyTypeObject: the documentation copy omits _tp_iteritem and _tp_cache, which are present in the header.

It turns out these two private fields are excluded intentionally, so this definition shouldn't be updated.
