Thank you for your PR!
I would strongly suggest to rename to mod instead of pyModule. It is more aligned with the code style of the majority of the CPython code base.
Also:
- Please write a NEWS entry (I'm thinking something like "Make Python.h compatible with C++20 compilers", but there may be better ways to present this).
- Please add a note in What's New. The text itself can be just a C&P of the NEWS entry.
- Please update the PR title to more accurately reflect the change: you are making Python.h compatible with C++20 compilers.
IMO, we should probably backport this to 3.10 and 3.9. I'm adding the labels; if anyone disagrees, please remove them :)
erlend-aasland added needs backport to 3.9 needs backport to 3.10 
BTW, did you test that it is actually possible to use a C++20 compiler for external modules after this change? AFAICS, it should be ok, but assumption has resulted in a lot of strange stuff. |
Renamed module to mod in header files

Nitpick:

| Make Python.h compatible with C++20 compilers. |

@erlend-aasland Thanks for the corrections ! renamed pyModule to mod. |
Thanks for the amendments, Hasan. Could you please also add an entry to What's New.

Would you mind to explain that the change is to avoid the usage of "module" which became a keyword in C++20?

Yes @vstinner, you are right!
I have mentioned in bugs.python.org, about this change.
After making a little research, i realized that this "module" keyword has meaning with "export"
Sorry i am not c++ expert )) If somebody have knowledge about it, share it plz :)

I don't understand your comment. Do you mean that https://bugs.python.org/issue39355 is not a bug and the Python C API is compatible with C++20?
If there is an issue, please explain the change in NEWS entry. "Make Python.h compatible with C++20 compilers." is not enough.

@vstinner it was interesting for me, if "module" keyword has meaning with "export" how gcc will treat "module" without "export" keyword ?

So far, I failed to reproduce https://bugs.python.org/issue39355 issue: using the Python C API in C++ doesn't emit any compiler warning or compiler error. See my test: https://bugs.python.org/issue39355#msg416256

You're welcome. I'm now considering serious to convert #32175 to a real unit test to make sure that the Python C API is compatible with C++.
