[New-bugs-announce] [issue42415] python3.lib in Python3.9.0 Windows distribution does not contain PyObject_CallNoArgs symbol

[David Hewitt]

New submission from David Hewitt <david.hewitt.92 at gmail.com>:

I'm unsure if this is a packaging error or a misunderstanding by me.

I'm trying to link a binary on windows with Py_LIMITED_API set. According to https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0384/#linkage I _think_ I'm supposed to be linking against python3.lib (instead of python39.lib).

However my build fails because the PyObject_CallNoArgs symbol is not present in python3.lib

I see that the symbol is indeed present in python39.lib

Is this a misunderstanding on my part? I was under the impression that python3.lib will only contain symbols available in the limited api, and that (since 3.9) PyObject_CallNoArgs is part of the limited api.
