`_PyEval_SetTrace` is no longer available in C API since 3.13

Bug report

Bug description:

Hello,

Prior 3.13 it was possible to set a trace in a specific thread from another thread by leveraging _PyEval_SetTrace, with pure Python. Now one can either set a trace for the current thread or all the threads using PyEval_SetTrace or PyEval_SetTraceAllThreads.
The change:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/108433/files#diff-9e7eb7e81667528dfa3a35bbf32fe622d4721c3c71385ea0ea2250abbd15d545R21
Interestingly, the profiling counterpart seems to be still available in the C API.

The use case I am interested in is a dedicated monitoring thread connected to a distributed observability system. This thread itself should not be traced as it manages tracing for the rest of the process.

Would it be possible to reinstate _PyEval_SetTrace back to the private C API?

Also, the new sys.monitoring module seems to offer a more high-level interface for debuggers and profilers, but it is unclear whether it is possible to limit the events to a certain thread. (unless of course one checks every event which does not seem efficient).

Alternatively, would writing an extension to expose this function be a better approach?

I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions regarding this. Thank you!

Examinez la suppression décrite dans PR 108433 et comparez les API existantes PyEval_SetTrace et PyEval_SetTraceAllThreads avec le comportement demandé par thread. Examinez ensuite si sys.monitoring peut limiter les événements à un seul thread et si une extension constitue une alternative appropriée. Le travail sera considéré comme terminé lorsqu’une orientation claire pour l’API aura été établie, avec l’accord des maintainers sur une réintégration ou une autre approche prise en charge.
