[New-bugs-announce] [issue43177] How to use `long double` as a PyObject?

[Ganesh Kathiresan]

New submission from Ganesh Kathiresan <ganesh3597 at gmail.com>:

I wanted to know if there is a way to parse and store c `long double`. I only found `PyFloat_FromDouble` and in the same page, `PyFloat_GetMax` returns: 
> Return the maximum representable finite float DBL_MAX as C double.

Meaning, there is no scope of `long double`. Can you please tell me how I can do something like `PyFloat_FromLongDouble`
