New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org>:

Follow-up of bpo-36381: In Python 3.8, PyArg_ParseTuple() and Py_BuildValue() 
formats using "int" when PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is not defined, but Py_ssize_t when 
PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is defined, were deprecated by:

commit d3c72a223a5f771f964fc34557c55eb5bfa0f5a0

    bpo-36381: warn when no PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN defined (GH-12473)
    
    We will remove int support from 3.10 or 4.0.

I propose to drop support for these formats in Python 3.10. It is a backward 
incompatible change on purpose, to ensure that all C extensions are compatible 
with objects larger than 2 GB, and that all C extensions behave the same.

I'm not sure of the effects of this issue on bpo-27499 "PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN 
conflicts with Py_LIMITED_API".
