Is PyType_FromModuleAndSpec the correct API to retrieve a type object from a module by spec? It calls PyType_FromMetaclass, which does a lot of extra work.

All the PyType_From* APIs call PyType_FromMetaclass. The recent changes to the PyType_From* APIs should not result in a lot of extra work. If that is the case, PyType_FromMetaclass should be optimised, if possible.

I was under the assumption that the PyType_From* APIs are used to create a new type object from a spec, not fetch an existing type. It may even leak memory . PyType_FromMetaclass calls PyMem_Malloc and eventually assigns it to type->tp_name eventually without a check.

Each call allocates a whole new type on the heap memory.

IMO, if there are issues with PEP-489 and the PyType_From* APIs they should be addressed in a separate issue and discussed there. Suggesting to mark this conversation as resolved and continue this discussion in an appropriate issue if needed.
