The patch should add some tests for the added functionality (I'm not sure where, but perhaps test_descr is a good location). Also, just a nitpick, you can use _PyObject_GetAttrId and the _Py_IDENTIFIER macro instead of interning the "__qualname__" string yourself. Note that extension (non-builtin) types will need to have their __qualname__ fixed before their methods' __qualname__ is usable: >>> collections.deque.__qualname__ 'deque'
