Unfortunately not.

https://bugs.python.org/issue21142 is an old issue suggesting automating
those checks (so we don't inadvertently add or remove symbols for
previously published stable ABI definitions), but it's not yet made it to
the state of being sufficiently well automated that it can be a release
checklist item in PEP 101.

Cheers,
Nick.
