bpo-46850: Move _PyInterpreterState_SetEvalFrameFunc() to internal C API (GH-32054)
Move the private _PyFrameEvalFunction type, and private
_PyInterpreterState_GetEvalFrameFunc() and
_PyInterpreterState_SetEvalFrameFunc() functions to the internal C
API. The _PyFrameEvalFunction callback function type now uses the
_PyInterpreterFrame type which is part of the internal C API.

Update the _PyFrameEvalFunction documentation.

bpo-43931: Export Python version as API data (GH-25577)
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...).

bpo-44113: Deprecate old functions to config Python init (GH-26060)
Deprecate the following functions to configure the Python
initialization:

* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()

instead (PEP 587).

bpo-42260: Fix _PyConfig_Read() if compute_path_config=0 (GH-23220)
Fix _PyConfig_Read() if compute_path_config=0: use values set by
Py_SetPath(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_SetProgramName(). Add
compute_path_config parameter to _PyConfig_InitPathConfig().

Py_Initialize():

* Py_GetExecPrefix()
* Py_GetPath()
* Py_GetPrefix()
* Py_GetProgramFullPath()
* Py_GetProgramName()
* Py_GetPythonHome()

These functions no longer automatically computes the Python Path
Configuration. Moreover, Py_SetPath() no longer computes
program_full_path.

bpo-39984: Move pending calls to PyInterpreterState (GH-19066)
If Py_AddPendingCall() is called in a subinterpreter, the function is
now scheduled to be called from the subinterpreter, rather than being
called from the main interpreter.

Each subinterpreter now has its own list of scheduled calls.

* Move pending and eval_breaker fields from _PyRuntimeState.ceval
  to PyInterpreterState.ceval.
* new_interpreter() now calls _PyEval_InitThreads() to create
  pending calls lock.
* Fix Py_AddPendingCall() for subinterpreters. It now calls
  _PyThreadState_GET() which works in a subinterpreter if the
  caller holds the GIL, and only falls back on
  PyGILState_GetThisThreadState() if _PyThreadState_GET()
  returns NULL.

  parameter and return -1 on error.

PyInterpreterState.eval_frame function now requires a tstate (Python

Add private functions to the C API to get and set the frame
evaluation function:

* Add tstate parameter to _PyFrameEvalFunction function type.
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetEvalFrameFunc() and
  _PyInterpreterState_SetEvalFrameFunc() functions.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault().

bpo-39511: PyThreadState_Clear() calls on_delete (GH-18296)
PyThreadState.on_delete is a callback used to notify Python when a
thread completes. _thread._set_sentinel() function creates a lock
which is released when the thread completes. It sets on_delete
callback to the internal release_sentinel() function. This lock is
known as Threading._tstate_lock in the threading module.

The release_sentinel() function uses the Python C API. The problem is
that on_delete is called late in the Python finalization, when the C
API is no longer fully working.

The PyThreadState_Clear() function now calls the
PyThreadState.on_delete callback. Previously, that happened in
PyThreadState_Delete().

The release_sentinel() function is now called when the C API is still
fully working.
