[New-bugs-announce] [issue42519] [C API] Upgrade the C API in extension modules

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

Python has around 118 extension modules. Most of them are quite old and still use the old way to write C extensions. I created this issue as a placeholder to modernize the code using my new tool:
https://github.com/pythoncapi/upgrade_pythoncapi

For example, replace PyMem_MALLOC() with PyMem_Malloc(), since PyMem_MALLOC() is a deprecated alias.
