[C-API] Add a function to access PyCodeObject.co_code in C #92154
Description
Activity
Even if no function is added, please document at least the member removal in https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.11.html (C API > Porting to Python 3.11) since the PyCodeObject structure is part of the public C API.
Exposing
PyCode_GetCodemakes sense to me, as it equivalent tocode.co_code.Sounds good to me as well.
And I added the function to pythoncapi-compat: python/pythoncapi-compat@85d1bd8
Feature or enhancement
Previously, you could access the
co_codefield inPyCodeObjectdirectly to access the bytecode. This is no longer the case since 2bde682. Currently in 3.11a7+, C code cannot easily obtain the equivalent ofco_codein 3.10.co_code_adaptivegets quickened bytecode which is not equivalent to the 3.10 behavior.I would imagine many tools relying on the old behavior will break.
Pitch
I propose we expose some form of the currently internal
_PyCode_GetCode.Previous discussion
