-Subject: [PATCH] Avoid using the thread state attribute "use_tracing" in
- Python 3.12 where it was removed from the struct.
-
-See PEP-669 (https://peps.python.org/pep-0669/) and the implementation in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/103083.
-There is more to be done to properly support PEP-669, but this makes it compile.
