[New-bugs-announce] [issue46343] Add PyErr_GetActiveException and PyErr_SetActiveException

[Irit Katriel]

New submission from Irit Katriel <iritkatriel at gmail.com>:

Following the removal of exc_type and exc_traceback from the interpreter's active exception in issue45711, we can now provide simplified get-set functions in the C Api:

PyAPI_FUNC(void) PyErr_GetActiveException(PyObject **);
PyAPI_FUNC(void) PyErr_SetActiveException(PyObject *);

as alternatives to 

PyAPI_FUNC(void) PyErr_GetExcInfo(PyObject **, PyObject **, PyObject **);
PyAPI_FUNC(void) PyErr_SetExcInfo(PyObject *, PyObject *, PyObject *);

See also issue46328 re the corresponding change in the sys module.
