Description

The following functions are not currently tested by test_capi:

  • PyType_ClearCache()
  • PyType_GetFlags()
  • PyType_IsSubtype()
  • PyType_Ready()

I'm working on a PR to add more test_capi tests on PyType functions.

Research direction

Start in the test_capi tests and inspect the existing coverage for PyType functions. Use PyType_ClearCache(), PyType_GetFlags(), PyType_IsSubtype(), and PyType_Ready() as the scope, and confirm completion with tests for each; PRs gh-155505 and gh-155620 show that this work is already underway.
