Py_CompileString and PyParser_SimpleParseString and possibly other related functions are not exported in Python 3.8 b2 DLL. This is unintentional, not documented and unnecessarily breaks backward compatibility.

bpo-37189 was similar and related to PyRun_String. This was fixed in Python 3.8b2. Please provide fixes to the above two functions as well.

To confirm the error:
>>> import ctypes
>>> api = ctypes.pythonapi
>>> hasattr(api, "PyParser_SimpleParseString")
False
>>> hasattr(api2, "Py_CompileString")
False

Py_CompileStringFlags is not exported either.

I can take this up.

Python 3.8 was released yesterday, but this issue was unfortunately not addressed, making it as an embedded runtime.

Are there plans to fix this for a minor 3.8 release?

Thanks!

[brettcannon]

I've flagged this as a release blocker so the Release Manager can make a call about whether this should hold up future releases.

Aha, finally more diversity of languages in commit messages! :-D
