Hello,

Let me present PEP 579 and PEP 580.

PEP 579 is an informational meta-PEP, listing some of the issues with 
functions/methods implemented in C. The idea is to create several PEPs 
each fix some part of the issues mentioned in PEP 579.

PEP 580 is a standards track PEP to introduce a new "C call" protocol, 
which is an important part of PEP 579. In the reference implementation 
(which is work in progress), this protocol will be used by built-in 
functions and methods. However, it should be used by more classes in the 
future.
