Closes #3762
This PR removes (as much as possible) all FFI functions and constants which start with
_Py
. Given that the guidance in #3762 from the CPython team is that we shouldn't be using these symbols (except in some cases where they are ABI implementation details) I have proceeded to remove them rather than deprecate. In the cases where we need to use them for implementations I removed thepub
from the symbol definition so thatpyo3-ffi
retains use of the symbol without re-exporting.Marked as draft for now as I need to finish off later; if we agree that this is a good idea then I will:
Architecture.md
/Contributing.md
to note that we don't expose these symbols.
