I added _Py_excinfo to the internal API (and added its functions in Python/errors.c) in gh-111530 (9322ce9). Since then I've had a nagging sense that I should have added the type and functions in its own PR. While I do plan on using _Py_excinfo outside crossinterp.c very soon (see gh-111572/gh-111573), I'd still feel more comfortable if the _Py_excinfo stuff went in as its own PR. Hence, here we are.
(FWIW, I may combine that with gh-111572, which I may, in turn, combine with gh-111573. We'll see.)
This moves several general internal APIs out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c and into the new Python/crossinterp.c (and the corresponding internal headers).
Specifically:
* _Py_excinfo, etc.: the initial implementation for non-object exception snapshots (in pycore_pyerrors.h and Python/errors.c)
* _PyXI_exception_info, etc.: helpers for passing an exception beween interpreters (wraps _Py_excinfo)
* _PyXI_namespace, etc.: helpers for copying a dict of attrs between interpreters
* _PyXI_Enter(), _PyXI_Exit(): functions that abstract out the transitions between one interpreter and a second that will do some work temporarily
Again, these were all abstracted out of _xxsubinterpretersmodule.c as generalizations. I plan on proposing these as public API at some point.
Move the private _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() functions to the
internal C API (pycore_pyerrors.h).
Move write_unraisable_exc() from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi.
Remove _PyErr_ChainExceptions(), _PyErr_ChainExceptions1() and
_PyErr_SetFromPyStatus() functions from the public C API.
* Move the private _PyErr_ChainExceptions() and
_PyErr_ChainExceptions1() function to the internal C API
(pycore_pyerrors.h).
* Move the private _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus() to the internal C API
(pycore_initconfig.h).
* No longer export the _PyErr_ChainExceptions() function.
* Move run_in_subinterp_with_config() from _testcapi to
_testinternalcapi.
No longer export these 5 internal C API functions:
* _PyArena_AddPyObject()
* _PyArena_Free()
* _PyArena_Malloc()
* _PyArena_New()
* _Py_FatalRefcountErrorFunc()
Change comment style to "// comment" and add comment explaining why
other functions have to be exported.
* Make sure that the current exception is always normalized.
* Remove redundant type and traceback fields for the current exception.
* Add new API functions: PyErr_GetRaisedException, PyErr_SetRaisedException
* Add new API functions: PyException_GetArgs, PyException_SetArgs
Add _PyStructSequence_FiniType() and _PyStaticType_Dealloc()
functions to finalize a structseq static type in Py_Finalize().
Currrently, these functions do nothing if Python is built in release
mode.
Clear static types:
* AsyncGenHooksType: sys.set_asyncgen_hooks()
* FlagsType: sys.flags
* FloatInfoType: sys.float_info
* Hash_InfoType: sys.hash_info
* Int_InfoType: sys.int_info
* ThreadInfoType: sys.thread_info
* UnraisableHookArgsType: sys.unraisablehook
* VersionInfoType: sys.version
* WindowsVersionType: sys.getwindowsversion()
* Do not PUSH/POP traceback or type to the stack as part of exc_info
* Remove exc_traceback and exc_type from _PyErr_StackItem
* Add to what's new, because this change breaks things like Cython
This change is strictly renames and moving code around. It helps in the following ways:
* ensures type-related init functions focus strictly on one of the three aspects (state, objects, types)
* passes in PyInterpreterState * to all those functions, simplifying work on moving types/objects/state to the interpreter
* consistent naming conventions help make what's going on more clear
* keeping API related to a type in the corresponding header file makes it more obvious where to look for it

When printing AttributeError, PyErr_Display will offer suggestions of similar
attribute names in the object that the exception was raised from:
>>> collections.namedtoplo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'namedtoplo'. Did you mean: namedtuple?
The Py_FatalError() function and the faulthandler module now dump the
list of extension modules on a fatal error.
Add _Py_DumpExtensionModules() and _PyModule_IsExtension() internal
functions.
This updates _PyErr_ChainStackItem() to use _PyErr_SetObject()
instead of _PyErr_ChainExceptions(). This prevents a hang in
certain circumstances because _PyErr_SetObject() performs checks
to prevent cycles in the exception context chain while
_PyErr_ChainExceptions() doesn't.
When an asyncio.Task is cancelled, the exception traceback now
starts with where the task was first interrupted. Previously,
the traceback only had "depth one."
bpo-3605, bpo-38733: Optimize _PyErr_Occurred(): remove "tstate ==
NULL" test.
Py_FatalError() no longer calls PyErr_Occurred() if called without
holding the GIL. So PyErr_Occurred() no longer has to support
tstate==NULL case.
_Py_CheckFunctionResult(): use directly _PyErr_Occurred() to avoid
explicit "!= NULL" test.
* Replace global var Py_VerboseFlag with interp->config.verbose.
* Add _PyErr_NoMemory(tstate) function.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyEval_SetCoroutineOriginTrackingDepth()
and move the function to the internal API.
* Replace _PySys_InitMain(runtime, interp)
with _PySys_InitMain(runtime, tstate).
