The module itself is a thin wrapper around calls to functions in `Python/codecs.c`, so that's where the meaningful changes happened: - Move codecs-related state that lives on `PyInterpreterState` to a struct declared in `pycore_codecs.h`. - In free-threaded builds, add a mutex to `codecs_state` to synchronize operations on `search_path`. Because `search_path_mutex` is used as a normal mutex and not a critical section, we must be extremely careful with operations called while holding it. - The codec registry is explicitly initialized as part of `_PyUnicode_InitEncodings` to simplify thread-safety.
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/
