* Convert PyObject_DelAttr() and PyObject_DelAttrString() macros to
functions.
* Add PyObject_DelAttr() and PyObject_DelAttrString() functions to
the stable ABI.
* Replace PyObject_SetAttr(obj, name, NULL) with
PyObject_DelAttr(obj, name).
* Add tests on PyImport_AddModuleRef(), PyImport_AddModule() and
PyImport_AddModuleObject().
* pythonrun.c: Replace Py_XNewRef(PyImport_AddModule(name)) with
PyImport_AddModuleRef(name).
Remove functions in the C API:
* PyEval_AcquireLock()
* PyEval_ReleaseLock()
* PyEval_InitThreads()
* PyEval_ThreadsInitialized()
But keep these functions in the stable ABI.
Mention "make regen-limited-abi" in "make regen-all".
* refcounts.dat:
* Remove Py_UNICODE functions.
* Replace Py_UNICODE argument type with wchar_t.
* _PyUnicode_ToLowercase(), _PyUnicode_ToUppercase(),
_PyUnicode_ToTitlecase() are no longer deprecated in comments.
It's no longer needed since they now use Py_UCS4 type, rather than
the deprecated Py_UNICODE type.
* gdb: Remove unused char_width() method.
Remove the following old functions to configure the Python
initialization, deprecated in Python 3.11:
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* PySys_SetArgvEx()
* PySys_SetArgv()
* PySys_SetPath()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Most of these functions are kept in the stable ABI, except:
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Update Doc/extending/embedding.rst and Doc/extending/extending.rst to
use the new PyConfig API.
_testembed.c:
* check_stdio_details() now sets stdio_encoding and stdio_errors
of PyConfig.
* Add definitions of functions removed from the API but kept in the
stable ABI.
* test_init_from_config() and test_init_read_set() now use
PyConfig_SetString() instead of PyConfig_SetBytesString().
Remove _Py_ClearStandardStreamEncoding() internal function.
* 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
The docs stated that PyImport_ImportFrozenModuleObject() returns a
new reference, but it actually returns an int.

The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be available
and there are no plans to remove it. There are no deprecation warnings. Old code
can stay unchanged (unless the extra include and non-namespaced macros bother
you greatly). Specifically, no uses in CPython are updated -- that would just be
unnecessary churn.
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be
available and there are no plans to remove it.
Its contents are now available just by including ``Python.h``,
with a ``Py`` prefix added if it was missing:
- `PyMemberDef`, `PyMember_GetOne` and`PyMember_SetOne`
- Type macros like `Py_T_INT`, `Py_T_DOUBLE`, etc.
(previously ``T_INT``, ``T_DOUBLE``, etc.)
- The flags `Py_READONLY` (previously ``READONLY``) and
`Py_AUDIT_READ` (previously all uppercase)
Several items are not exposed from ``Python.h``:
- `T_OBJECT` (use `Py_T_OBJECT_EX`)
- `T_NONE` (previously undocumented, and pretty quirky)
- The macro ``WRITE_RESTRICTED`` which does nothing.
- The macros ``RESTRICTED`` and ``READ_RESTRICTED``, equivalents of
`Py_AUDIT_READ`.
- In some configurations, ``<stddef.h>`` is not included from ``Python.h``.
It should be included manually when using ``offsetof()``.
The deprecated header continues to provide its original
contents under the original names.
Your old code can stay unchanged, unless the extra include and non-namespaced
macros bother you greatly.
There is discussion on the issue to rename `T_PYSSIZET` to `PY_T_SSIZE` or
similar. I chose not to do that -- users will probably copy/paste that with any
spelling, and not renaming it makes migration docs simpler.

* gh-93503: Add APIs to set profiling and tracing functions in all threads in the C-API
* Use a separate API
* Fix NEWS entry
* Add locks around the loop
* Document ignoring exceptions
* Use the new APIs in the sys module
* Update docs
Added a new stable API function ``PyType_FromMetaclass``, which mirrors
the behavior of ``PyType_FromModuleAndSpec`` except that it takes an
additional metaclass argument. This is, e.g., useful for language
binding tools that need to store additional information in the type
object.
Remove the PyUnicode_InternImmortal() function and the
SSTATE_INTERNED_IMMORTAL macro.
The PyUnicode_InternImmortal() function is still exported in the
stable ABI. The function is removed from the API.
PyASCIIObject.state.interned size is now a single bit, rather than 2
bits.
Keep SSTATE_NOT_INTERNED and SSTATE_INTERNED_MORTAL macros for
backward compatibility, but no longer use them internally since the
interned member is now a single bit and so can only have two values
(interned or not interned).
Update stats of _PyUnicode_ClearInterned().
When Python is embedded in other applications, it is not easy to determine which version of Python is being used. This change exposes the Python version as part of the API data. Tools like Austin (https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin) can benefit from this data when targeting applications like uWSGI, as the Python version can then be inferred systematically by looking at the exported symbols rather than relying on unreliable pattern matching or other hacks (like remote code execution etc...).

Fix PyAiter_Check to only check for the `__anext__` presense (not for
`__aiter__`). Rename `PyAiter_Check()` to `PyAIter_Check()`,
`PyObject_GetAiter()` -> `PyObject_GetAIter()`.

I tried to be relatively thorough and give lots of links.
One reason is that this wasn't deprecated very long; also it seems people running into this tend to not be familiar with similar APIs.

* Remove struct _node from the stable ABI list
This struct was removed along with the old parser in Python 3.9 (PEP 617)
* Stable ABI list: Use the public name "PyFrameObject" rather than "_frame"
* Ensure limited API doesn't contain private names
Names prefixed by an underscore are private by definition.
* Add a blurb
Py_FrozenMain was added to the Limited C API in [bpo-42591]() (3.10.0a4);
but to fix that issue it would be enough to add it to the regular C API.
The function is undocumented, tests were added very recently ([bpo-44131]()),
and most importantly, it is not present in all builds of Python, as
the linker sometimes omits it as unused.
It should be added back when these issues are fixed.
Note that this does not affect Python's regular C API.
- Reformat the C API and ABI Versioning page (and extend/clarify a bit)
- Rewrite the stable ABI docs into a general text on C API Compatibility
- Add a list of Limited API contents, and notes for the individual items.
- Replace `Include/README.rst` with a link to a devguide page with the same info
Add new C-API functions to control the state of the garbage collector:
PyGC_Enable(), PyGC_Disable(), PyGC_IsEnabled(),
corresponding to the functions in the gc module.

- `_Py_EncodeLocaleRaw`, which is private by name, undocumented,
and wasn't exported in `python3.dll`, is moved to a private header.
- `_Py_HashSecret_Initialized`, again private by name, undocumented,
and not exported in `python3.dll`, is excluded with `Py_LIMITED_API`.
- `PyMarshal_*` and `PyMember_*One` functions, declared in private headers and
not exported in `python3.dll`, are removed from `Doc/data/stable_abi.dat`.
- `PyMem_Calloc` which *was* exported in `python3dll.c`, is moved to public
headers where it joins its other `PyMem_*` friends.
Only the last change is documented in the blurb; others are not user-visible.
(Nothing uses `Doc/data/stable_abi.dat` yet.)
https://bugs.python.org/issue43795
Add the Py_Is(x, y) function to test if the 'x' object is the 'y'
object, the same as "x is y" in Python. Add also the Py_IsNone(),
Py_IsTrue(), Py_IsFalse() functions to test if an object is,
respectively, the None singleton, the True singleton or the False
singleton.
The stable_abi.py script no longer parse macros. Macro targets can be
static inline functions which are not part of the stable ABI, only
part of the limited C API.
Run "make regen-limited-abi" to exclude PyType_HasFeature from
Doc/data/stable_abi.dat.
