The old trashcan macros - Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN/END are unsafe (see Issue40608). They were removed from the limited C API in 3.9: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/whatsnew/3.9.rst#removed-1 They should be removed altogether, in favour of Py_TRASHCAN_BEGIN/END. Since they are not documented, I think this would be done by changing the comment before their definition in Include/cpython/object.h.
