Hi all,

The PyArena data type is defined in the pyarena.h under the #ifndef Py_LIMITED_API statement, so it's not included in the limited api. But this type is used in Python-ast.h, ast.h and asdl.h headers that included in the limited api, because they don't contain any checks for Py_LIMITED_API.

May be all these header files (Python-ast.h, ast.h, asdl.h) should begin with "#ifndef Py_LIMITED_API" (excluded from the limited api)?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this should be a compile error or an enhancement request, can someone please advise.

This seems like the correct thing to do.
Since the AST changes from version to version, I don't see how these files could reasonably be part of the limited API.
