+Subject: [PATCH] Port to Python 3.9
+
+On Python 3.9, define _Py_DEC_REFTOTAL which has been removed by:
+https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/49932fec62c616ec88da52642339d83ae719e924
+
+Replace also PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords() with PyObject_Call(),
+since PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords() has been deprecated in
+Python 3.9 and PyObject_Call() has the same behavior. The only
+difference is that PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords() can be called with
+args=NULL, but g_initialstub() ensures that args is not NULL.
