[New-bugs-announce] [issue43155] PyCMethod_New not defined in python3.lib

[Barry Alan Scott]

New submission from Barry Alan Scott <barry-scott at users.sourceforge.net>:

When using the limited API PyCMethod_New is not defined in python3.lib.
This leads to a link error.

This error is in 3.9 and 3.10a5

Discovered when I improved the PyCXX test suite.

Example output:
