[issue40240] Expose public spelling of _PyGC_FINALIZED and _PyGC_SET_FINALIZED?

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

Pablo: "That is out of contract and goes against the guarantees on the GC and can (will) cause the finalizer of the object to be executed more than once. I don't think is a good idea to expose an API that allows breaking the guarantees that we give: every object is finalized once."

I concur with Pablo. We must not expose an API to "unfinalize" an object.

Irit Katriel: "Can this be closed now? It seems that the query API was added and the set API was rejected."

Right. I close the issue as rejected.
