[issue42260] [C API] Add _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig(): reconfigure an interpreter

[STINNER Victor]

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

The initial issue, adding an API to reconfigure an interepreter, is implemented: I added _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig().

But I failed finding time to finish the larger project "rewrite getpath.c in Python" (PR 23169). It requires changing the C API of the PEP 587 which is not easy. Also I'm not fully convinced that there is a strong need to change getpath.c.

I would be interested to move code from site.py to _getpath.py, but it's also not obvious if there a strong benefit.
