Even though bpo#40740 has been closed, I wanted to re-raise the issue as this affects me.  There are only two functions that come from this missing DLL:

PathCchCombineEx
PathCchCanonicalizeEx

Would there be a way of rewriting join/canonicalize in getpathp.c (each of which uses one of the above functions) to _not_ rely on functions from a missing DLL on Windows 7 SP1?  Or has the ship truly sailed on this matter?

Python 3.9 does not support Windows 7, it's explicitly stated in the release notes of 3.9.0

Closing as a duplicate. Any discussion should be on the original issue.
