I’m in the process of back porting a change which touches importlib and
requires regeneration of Python/importlib.h and Python/importlib_external.h.
The original fix on master:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5481
Miss Islington’s back port to 3.7:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5
Sure, I sort of asked this in the past: what are the generated files, how
to identify them, is there a pattern?
I need to dig up that thread and find out if anyone answered. It's been a
while :)
Usually there would be conflict in backport though. It was suggested that
cherry-picker can regenerate
