[New-bugs-announce] [issue24945] Expose Py_TPFLAGS_ values from Python

[Erik Bray]

New submission from Erik Bray:

Although admittedly rare, I've on more than one occasion wanted to inspect the tp_flags of a given class.  It seems silly to me that although tp_flags is exposed to Python via type.__flags__, I then have to go rummaging around in Include/object.h in order to actually interpret the value of that attribute.

It would be nice, then, if the Py_TPFLAGS_* values were exposed as constants somewhere in Python (perhaps in the sys module)?

If it's agreed this is a good idea I'll gladly provide a patch if someone can point me toward where this would best live.
