[New-bugs-announce] [issue10913] Deprecate PyEval_AcquireLock() and PyEval_ReleaseLock()

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

These two functions are very low-level and no good to use outside the interpreter core (actually, inside the core I don't think they are useful either). We should deprecate them and recommend the thread-state aware functions instead. See #1720250 for an example confusion.
