- Rename error helpers with a `curses_set_error_*` prefix instead of `PyCurses*`.
- Cleanly report both NULL and ERR cases.
- Raise `curses.error` in `is_linetouched` instead of a `TypeError`.
The X/Open curses specification[0] and ncurses documentation[1]
both state that subwindows must be deleted before the main window.
Deleting the windows in the wrong order causes a double-free with
NetBSD's curses implementation.
To fix this, keep track of the original window object in the subwindow
object, and keep a reference to the original for the lifetime of
the subwindow.

The use of PySys_GetObject() and _PySys_GetAttr(), which return a borrowed
reference, has been replaced by using one of the following functions, which
return a strong reference and distinguish a missing attribute from an error:
_PySys_GetOptionalAttr(), _PySys_GetOptionalAttrString(),
_PySys_GetRequiredAttr(), and _PySys_GetRequiredAttrString().
This is actually an upstream problem in curses, and has been reported
to them already:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2024-09/msg00101.html
This is a nice workaround in the meantime to prevent the segfault.

1. Use pkg-config to check for ncursesw/panelw. If that fails, use
pkg-config to check for ncurses/panel.
2. Regardless of pkg-config output, search for curses/panel headers, so
we're sure we have all defines in pyconfig.h.
3. Regardless of pkg-config output, check if libncurses or libncursesw
contains the 'initscr' symbol; if it does _and_ pkg-config failed
earlier, add the resulting -llib linker option to CURSES_LIBS.
Ditto for 'update_panels' and PANEL_LIBS.
4. Wrap the rest of the checks with WITH_SAVE_ENV and make sure we're
using updated LIBS and CPPFLAGS for those.
Add the PY_CHECK_CURSES convenience macro.
This PR adds the ability to enable the GIL if it was disabled at
interpreter startup, and modifies the multi-phase module initialization
path to enable the GIL when loading a module, unless that module's spec
includes a slot indicating it can run safely without the GIL.
PEP 703 called the constant for the slot `Py_mod_gil_not_used`; I went
with `Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED` for consistency with gh-104148.
A warning will be issued up to once per interpreter for the first
GIL-using module that is loaded. If `-v` is given, a shorter message
will be printed to stderr every time a GIL-using module is loaded
(including the first one that issues a warning).
Functions like PyErr_SetFromErrno() and SetFromWindowsErr() should be
called immediately after using the C API which sets errno or the Windows
error code.
builtins and extension module functions and methods that expect boolean values for parameters now accept any Python object rather than just a bool or int type. This is more consistent with how native Python code itself behaves.
We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541
The _curses module now creates its ncurses_version type as a heap
type using PyStructSequence_NewType(), rather than using a static
type.
* Move _PyStructSequence_FiniType() definition to pycore_structseq.h.
* test.pythoninfo: log curses.ncurses_version.
setup.py no longer defines Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE. Instead every
module defines the macro before #include "Python.h" unless
Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN is already defined.
Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN is defined for every module that is built by
Modules/Setup.
The PR also simplifies Modules/Setup. Makefile and makesetup
already define Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN and include Modules/internal
for us.

* issue45067 - Fix _curses compilation in CentOS 7. Verify the version of ncurses
for extended color support feature usage.
The function extended_color_content was introduced in 2017. The ncurses-devel
package in CentOS 7 had a older version ncurses resulted in compilation error.
For compiling ncurses with extended color support, we verify the version of the
ncurses library.

Add a new Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION type flag to disallow
creating type instances: set tp_new to NULL and don't create the
"__new__" key in the type dictionary.
The flag is set automatically on static types if tp_base is NULL or
&PyBaseObject_Type and tp_new is NULL.
Use the flag on the following types:
* _curses.ncurses_version type
* _curses_panel.panel
* _tkinter.Tcl_Obj
* _tkinter.tkapp
* _tkinter.tktimertoken
* _xxsubinterpretersmodule.ChannelID
* sys.flags type
* sys.getwindowsversion() type
* sys.version_info type
Update MyStr example in the C API documentation to use
Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION.
Add _PyStructSequence_InitType() function to create a structseq type
with the Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION flag set.
type_new() calls _PyType_CheckConsistency() at exit.
No longer use deprecated aliases to functions:
* Replace PyObject_MALLOC() with PyObject_Malloc()
* Replace PyObject_REALLOC() with PyObject_Realloc()
* Replace PyObject_FREE() with PyObject_Free()
* Replace PyObject_Del() with PyObject_Free()
* Replace PyObject_DEL() with PyObject_Free()
Use _PyLong_GetZero() and _PyLong_GetOne() in Modules/ directory.
_cursesmodule.c and zoneinfo.c are now built with
Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro defined.
