Message 389049 - Python tracker

I don't have a PR in-hand.  I just ran across this when trying to explain 3.9 vs 3.10 timings and M-1 vs Intel timings.   Ideally, all of these PRs should be reverted.  Short of that, each change needs to be reviewed to see if it created extra work inside a loop.  There are 35 calls to PyLong_GetOne and 3 for PyLong_GetZero.  Each of those should be checked.
