For the most part, these changes make is substantially easier to backport subinterpreter-related code to 3.12, especially the related modules (e.g. _xxsubinterpreters). The main motivation is to support releasing a PyPI package with the 3.13 capabilities compiled for 3.12. A lot of the changes here involve either hiding details behind macros/functions or splitting up some files.
The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
