Description
Documentation
Python 3.12 has commit 2ad2bd8b14505ee92600e7988379cfac63086dab which now requires that the interpreter be initialized before calling Py_AtExit. Please add a retroactive note to the changelog for 3.12 and a new one to 3.13 (for those who don't go back to read the 3.12 changelogs) about this new change.
The API docs might also want to mention it too.
