Python C API compatibility

:alt: Build status of pythoncapi-compat on GitHub Actions
:target: https://github.com/python/pythoncapi-compat/actions
The ``pythoncapi-compat`` project can be used to write a C or C++ extension
supporting a wide range of Python versions with a single code base. It is made
of the ``pythoncapi_compat.h`` header file and the ``upgrade_pythoncapi.py``
script.
``upgrade_pythoncapi.py`` requires Python 3.6 or newer.
See the `documentation at ReadTheDocs
<https://pythoncapi-compat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_
for more details.
Getting started
===============
To upgrade a specific file::
python3 upgrade_pythoncapi.py module.c
To upgrade all C/C++ files in a directory::
python3 upgrade_pythoncapi.py src/
Select operations
-----------------
To only replace ``op->ob_type`` with ``Py_TYPE(op)``, select the ``Py_TYPE``
operation with::
python3 upgrade_pythoncapi.py -o Py_TYPE module.c
Or the opposite, to apply all operations but leave ``op->ob_type`` unchanged,
deselect the ``Py_TYPE`` operation with::
python3 upgrade_pythoncapi.py -o all,-Py_TYPE module.c
Download pythoncapi_compat.h
----------------------------
If you want to ``pythoncapi_compat.h`` to your code base, use the
``upgrade_pythoncapi.py`` tool to fetch it::
python3 upgrade_pythoncapi.py --download PATH
