      The extension module porting guide at https://docs.python.org/dev/howto/cporting.html should be updated with Linux distro porting experience.

      Barry's notes: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingToPy3k/BilingualQuickRef#Python_extension_modules

      Petr's compatibility helper tools: https://py3c.readthedocs.org

      Following the large rewrite in #9317 to point to other guides (including py3c) instead of providing a guide, should we

      a) add a pointer to Barry's notes as well
      b) migrate this bug to request enhancements to py3c docs or http://python3porting.com/cextensions.html
      c) something else?

      py3c has an open issue to check that Barry's notes on C extensions are included: encukou/py3c#1
      However, C extensions are only a small part of the wiki page.
