Now, there are a couple of things we can do here: Option 1: Finish GH-12607 to fix the old macros, keeping in mind this will restore compatibility lost with Python 3.8 - 3.10 only for users of 3.11+ Option 2: Review and merge GH-20104 that reverts the macro changes that make old client code segfault -- unclear what else this needs and again, that would only fix it for users of 3.11+ Option 3: Abandon GH-12607 and GH-20104, instead declaring the old macros deprecated for 3.11 and remove them in 3.13
I personally agree with Irit, voting +1 for Option 3 since the old macros were soft-deprecated already by introducing new macros in 3.8, and more importantly made incompatible with pre-3.8 usage.
Agreed as well. Regards Antoine.
