C-API tracking: missing Stable ABI functions in crates/capi

Latest update: 2026-09-17

Goal

Track CPython Stable ABI C-API functions that are still missing from RustPython crates/capi, organized by CPython Include/ header layout (mirroring RustPython’s capi split, including abstract_/*).

Missing Stable ABI Functions by Header

Derived from CPython Misc/stable_abi.toml and compared against exported C-API functions in RustPython crates/capi/src.

This list includes only functions that are still candidates for implementation in RustPython C-API:

• starts from all [function.*] entries in Misc/stable_abi.toml
• removes private functions (names starting with _)
• removes functions already implemented in RustPython crates/capi/src
• removes functions marked removed in CPython "What's New" C-API notes across Python 3.0 through 3.15
• marks remaining deprecated or soft-deprecated functions as (deprecated)
• groups remaining functions by CPython Include/*.h header, using RustPython's existing crates/capi/src file split (including abstract_/*)
