gh-131776: Expose functions called from the interpreter loop via PyAP… #134242
Conversation
I'm happy to defer on that, but would be fine renaming them if that seems better. But they're buried in the internal APIs and require defining |
PyUnstable functions require documentation and tests. |

| PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject *) _PyType_InitSubclasses(PyTypeObject *); |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It feels a little off, putting the dict out there to be modified. What do you need this for, specifically? Can we provide some specific operation (like "set a dict watcher") rather than exposing the whole dict?
These APIs are used in CPython's interpreter loop. Alternate interpreter loops can be created using the
cases_generatorscript with an additional input file that can be plugged in using PEP 523. But because these functions aren't exposed it's not possible to actually fully create these alternative interpreter loops without copying and pasting large amounts of code.
