[New-bugs-announce] [issue23903] Generate PC/python3.def by scraping headers

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

The attached patch adds a script that can scrape header files to pick out PyAPI_DATA and PyAPI_FUNCs to generate PC/python3.def.  It's not complete and is not integrated into the build at all yet.  I'm planning to work on this further at the PyCon sprints.

Running this and comparing output to the current checked-in python3.def shows that we're not keeping it up-to-date well at all.
