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.
* Uncomment builtin removal in pairindextypes
* Use new-style index directive ('builtin') - C API
* Use new-style index directive ('builtin') - Extending
* Use new-style index directive ('builtin') - Library
* Use new-style index directive ('builtin') - Reference
* Use new-style index directive ('builtin') - Tutorial
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.

If an HTTP link is redirected to a same looking HTTPS link, the latter can
be used directly without changes in readability and behavior.
It protects from a men-in-the-middle attack.
This change does not affect Python examples.

Objects that support garbage collection ("container" objects) should
call PyObject_GC_UnTrack() from their destructors before clearing any
fields which may point to other "container" objects.
Accessing the following attributes will now fire PEP 578 style audit hooks as ("object.__getattr__", obj, name):
* PyTracebackObject: tb_frame
* PyFrameObject: f_code
* PyGenObject: gi_code, gi_frame
* PyCoroObject: cr_code, cr_frame
* PyAsyncGenObject: ag_code, ag_frame
Add an AUDIT_READ attribute flag aliased to READ_RESTRICTED.
Update obsolete flag documentation.
The configure --without-cycle-gc option has been removed in Python
2.3 by the commit cccd1e7248. It's now
time to remove the last reference to it in the documentation.
Add Doc/using/configure.rst documentation to document configure,
preprocessor, compiler and linker options.
Add a new section about the "Python debug build".
The distutils bdist_wininst command deprecated in Python 3.8 has been
removed. The distutils bidst_wheel command is now recommended to
distribute binary packages on Windows.
* Remove Lib/distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py
* Remove PC/bdist_wininst/ project
* Remove Lib/distutils/command/wininst-*.exe programs
* Remove all references to bdist_wininst
Sphinx 3 requires to refer to terms with the exact case.
For example, fix the Sphinx 3 warning:
Doc/library/pkgutil.rst:71: WARNING: term Loader not found in case
sensitive match.made a reference to loader instead.
* Add a note to the PyModule_AddObject docs.
* Correct example usages of PyModule_AddObject.
* Whitespace.
* Clean up wording.
* 📜🤖 Added by blurb_it.
* First code review.
* Add < 0 in the tests with PyModule_AddObject
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
* bpo-33201: Modernize "Extension types" doc
* Split tutorial and other topics
* Some small fixes
* Address some review comments
* Rename noddy* to custom* and shoddy to sublist
* Fix markup
