Is it ok to delegate PEP 743 "Add Py_COMPAT_API_VERSION to the Python C API" to the C API Working Group?

Hi,

@encukou and me authored PEP 743: Add Py_COMPAT_API_VERSION to the Python C API. Are you ok with delegating it to the C API Working Group, or do you want to handle this PEP?

Note: I already used "PEP-Delegate: C API Working Group" on PEP 756 – Add PyUnicode_Export() and PyUnicode_Import() C functions and PEP 757 – C API to import-export Python integers, but these two PEPs are special, they were already open issues in the C API WG decision project. I wrote PEPs to summarize the discussion.

The SC discussed this and would rather not delegate the PEPs to the C API WG as a whole. I've just updated https://github.com/python/steering-council/blob/main/process/standing-delegations.md to reflect the relationship between the SC and the C API WG in this area, as described in PEP 731 (https://peps.python.org/pep-0731/#relationship-with-the-steering-council).

To avoid apparent conflicts of interest, the SC would rather deal with these PEPs by having the C API WG provide a recommendation (as normal), but not be the PEP-Delegates.

Ok, I created #264 for PEP 757 "C API to import-export Python integers".
