Recently, a issue about C++20 compatibility was reported:
"The Python library will not compile with a C++2020 compiler because the code uses the reserved “module” keyword" https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/83536
In fact, after a long study, Python C API is *not* affected by this issue. Using "module" remains valid in C++20: see the issue for details.
I'm not surprised. The C++ committee takes compatibility extremely seriously... Regards Antoine.

While I don't know who proposed C++11 or where, I'd therefore like to propose to move to _at least_ C++14.
What benefits does this have for Python development?
Let me second that question as well.
I work on Apache Arrow, where the C++ parts require C++11 (and we can't go further than this for now because of R compatibility concerns). We could say that enabling the Python bindings switches the required C++ version to C++14, but that would bring complication for no actual again given that you're not likely to benefit from C++14 features in the header files of a *C* project, are you?
