Thanks, Victor, for pushing this massive amount of work through;
And thanks to you for reviewing and approving.
it won't affect most people using Python (at least until the rest of PEP 432 lands) but it's a giant boon to those of us who embed Python :)
It affects us when apps decided to embed or not embed Python as their exposed scripting language. The open-source Godot 2D/3D game engine started with Lua, switched to Squirrel (???), and tried to embed Python but ran into 'problems'. Instead they developed a very Python-like GDScript, with a subset of Python syntax and expanded built-ins. (So it is still easy for a Pythonista to use.) It might be worthwhile to ask them what the fatal problems were.
