Checking
Py_REFCNT == 1
is thread-unsafe on the free-threaded build, since refcounts are stored and loaded in free-threading using atomic operations.Python 3.14 added
PyUnstable_Object_IsUniquelyReferenced
to replace static refcount checks. I added a backport to pythoncapi-compat in python/pythoncapi-compat#149, which allows me to use the function unconditionally and get correct behavior on 3.13t as well. This relies on some private implementation details on 3.13t, but all that is done in the compat header.
