Move the following private API to the internal C API (pycore_signal.h):

  • _PyOS_IsMainThread()
  • _PyOS_SigintEvent()

No longer export these functions.

Move the following private API to the internal C API
(pycore_signal.h): _PyOS_IsMainThread() and _PyOS_SigintEvent().

This breaks tensorstore, specifically due to the usage of _PyOS_SigintEvent here: https://github.com/google/tensorstore/blob/798025f874c7579b2eb900932bf7c56d4f8ebd62/python/tensorstore/future.cc#L75

It is used in order to make a blocking wait within the main thread interruptible via Control+C on Windows. I don't know of any easy alternative. For now I will be using the workaround of copying the declaration to my own source file, but if the function is eventually removed entirely that won't work.

Would you mind to open a new issue since this one is closed? Please explain your use case and why you need this function to be exposed.
