[Python-Dev] Making PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN not mandatory.

6 Jun 2021

      Hi, folks,

Since Python 3.8, PyArg_Parse*() APIs and Py_BuildValue() APIs emitted
DeprecationWarning when
'#' format is used without PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN defined.
In Python 3.10, they raise a RuntimeError, not a warning. Extension
modules can not use '#' format with int.

So how about making PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN not mandatory in Python 3.11?
Extension modules can use '#' format with ssize_t, without
PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN defined.

Or should we wait one more version?

Regards,
