Hi all,
I think that PEP 573 is ready to be accepted, to greatly improve the state of extension modules in CPython 3.9.
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0573/
It has come a long way since the original proposal and went through several iterations and discussions by various interested people, effectively reducing its scope quite a bit. So this is the last call for comments on the latest version of the PEP, before I will pronounce on it. Please keep the discussion in this thread.
Stefan
