[New-bugs-announce] [issue44401] const kwlist for PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords and PyArg_VaParseTupleAndKeywords

[Richard Barnes]

New submission from Richard Barnes <rbarnes at umn.edu>:

PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords and PyArg_VaParseTupleAndKeywords currently accept `kwlist` as `char **`; however, is not modified by either function. Therefore, a `const char **` might be better since this allows calling code to take advantage of `const` safety.
