Comment thread
scoder marked this conversation as resolved.
This previously required importing the :mod:`gc` module and calling
Python functions in it, which is cumbersome from C code.
These functions allow to activate, deactivate and query the state of the garbage collector from C code without
having to import the :mod:`gc` module.

Porting to Python 3.10
