Restore removed Py_SetProgramName() and PySys_SetArgv() functions #117987
Description
My Fedora team identified that the removal of "Python initialization" functions impacts at least 17 projects. I propose to restore them to give more time to impacted projects to be updated to the new PEP 587 PyConfig API added to Python 3.8.
These functions were marked as deprecated in Python 3.11.
Py_SetProgramName() and/or Py_SetPythonHome(), 7 impacted projects:
- dionaea
- fontforge
- glade
- libreoffice
- neuron
- python-pyqt6
- python-pyside6
PySys_SetArgv() and/or PySys_SetArgvEx(), 12 impacted projects (glade and neuron are both lists):
- collectd
- glade
- gnumeric
- kernel
- nautilus-python
- nemo-extensions
- neuron
- obs-studio
- pyotherside
- remmina
- scribus
- sourcextractor++
In Python 3.13, I also proposed PEP 741 – Python Configuration C API but it's still a draft.
