[issue3329] API for setting the memory allocator used by Python

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Note that I'm definitely open to including extra settings to set up custom allocators as part of Py_CoreConfig in PEP 432 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0432/#pre-initialization-phase).

I don't really want to continue the tradition of additional PySet_* APIs with weird conditions on when they have to be called, though (trying to prevent more of that kind of organic growth in complexity is why I wrote PEP 432 in the first place)
