New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com>:
PyInterpreterState_Main() is a function in the public C-API that returns a pointer to the main interpreter's state. The main interpreter is the first one created by the CPython runtime during startup (e.g. when the "python" command is run). Documentation for PyInterpreterState_Main() should be on the "Initialization, Finalization, and Threads" page of the C-API docs, probably in the "Sub-interpreter support" section. [1] It could also possibly go in the "Advanced Debugger Support" section. [2] FYI, I added PyInterpreterState_Main() at PyCon US 2017 (commit f5df46d701d29baf738365da6fcf1b8a3ceabb71) when I merged Nick Coghlan's internal implementation of PEP 432. So it has been available since 3.7.
