[New-bugs-announce] [issue14942] add PyType_New()

[Eric Snow]

New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurrently at gmail.com>:

Nick Coghlan suggested[1] exploring an easier spelling for "type(name, (), {})" in the C API.  I've attached a patch that adds a function that does so: _PyType_New().  It's "private" in the patch, but only because I am reticent to expand the API without solid feedback from the more experienced devs.

Even if I didn't get the implementation quite right (I'm relatively new to the C API), the patch at least demonstrates the concept.  :)
