Low level functionality for listing interpreters associated with a channel

[nanjekyejoannah]

One of the attributes for class RecvChannel(id) and class SendChannel(id) is interpreters but currently there is no low-level functionality to associate interpreters with a channel.

Hi there, I'm a new contributor interested in getting involved with this project and was wondering if this issue might be suitable. Could anyone provide any pointers for where to start with implementing this?

@LewisGaul Thanks for offerring to help. This week, I will resume my work on this: nanjekyejoannah/cpython#1 and I really needed this low level feature. Am happy to hear from you especially this week but no pressure.

The low level subinterpreters functionality are implemented in Modules/_xxsubinterpretersmodule.c . The file has similar functions. You can take a look for some leads. I hope this helps.

Feel free ask more questions If you have any.

Thanks for the pointers Joannah, I took a look at your interpreters module implementation - it's cool to have a runnable proof-of-concept :)

I'll take a further look into this when I have time, hopefully this week.

Would anyone be able to take a quick look at the PR I have open at LewisGaul/cpython#3 to check I'm heading in the right direction before spending time polishing it? Please ask if anything isn't clear :)

Thanks for working on this, @LewisGaul. I'm taking a look today.
