I wrote PR 20763 to "finalize" static types in Py_Finalize(). It mostly works, but "./Programs/_testembed test_forced_io_encoding" crash. This program calls Py_Initialize() and Py_Finalize() multiple times in a loop.

It doesn't look to be safe to clear static types. Many functions rely on the fact that static types are "always there" and are never finalized. Also, only a few static types are cleared by my PR: many static types are left unchanged. For example, static types of the _io module.

It seems like a safer approach is to continue the work on bpo-40077: "Convert static types to PyType_FromSpec()".
