gh-118789: Restore hidden _PyWeakref_ClearRef - #118797
Merged

Conversation
_PyWeakref_ClearRef was previously exposed in the public C-API, although it begins with an underscore and is not documented. It's used by a few C-API extensions. There is currently no alternative public API that can replace its use. _PyWeakref_ClearWeakRefsExceptCallbacks is the only thread-safe way to use _PyWeakref_ClearRef in the free-threaded build. This exposes the C symbol, but does not make the API public.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Would it be possible to only restore it in Python 3.13 and remove it (do nothing) in Python 3.14, since a replacement is added?

That's a question for the C API workgroup. AFAIK, the workflow for 3.13 is to restore the API that causes problems. I don't think 3.14 branching changes that. |
