[Python-Dev] List of stdlib types that have been converted to heap types

[Erlend Aasland]

Ref. https://bugs.python.org/issue43908, I've compiled a list of types that have been converted to heap types. I've posted it on Discourse for readability:

https://discuss.python.org/t/list-of-built-in-types-converted-to-heap-types/8403

Note: for now, I didn't bother to trace PyType_Spec variable names to complete type names. Hope it's not too much of a problem.

One thing we could do would be to prioritize setting the IMMUTABLE flag on the most "public" modules of the list. Of these, I would think array.array and the three classes in _sre to be the most important.
