+ 1621 | PyEval_InitThreads ();
+ | ^
+In file included from /usr/include/python3.9/Python.h:141,
+ from ../../gdb/python/python-internal.h:86,
+ from ../../gdb/python/python.c:92:
+/usr/include/python3.9/ceval.h:132:37: note: declared here
+ 132 | Py_DEPRECATED(3.9) PyAPI_FUNC(void) PyEval_InitThreads(void);
+ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Information about the deprecated function can be found here:
+
+https://docs.python.org/3.9/whatsnew/3.9.html#deprecated
+
+Specifically, with regard to PyEval_InitThreads(), it says:
+
+ The PyEval_InitThreads() and PyEval_ThreadsInitialized() functions
+ are now deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.11. Calling
+ PyEval_InitThreads() now does nothing. The GIL is initialized by
+ Py_Initialize() since Python 3.7. (Contributed by Victor Stinner
+ in bpo-39877.)
+
+I chose to disable the call with a #if test using PY_VERSION_HEX.
+There is precedent for use of PY_VERSION_HEX; it's used in two places
+in python-internal.h. I noticed that under certain circumstances
+python-internal.h defines PyEval_InitThreads to be nothing, which
+accomplishes the same thing. I considered doing something similar for
+this case, but decided against it because, at some point in the future,
+the presence of PyEval_InitThreads() without some explanation will be
+confusing to a reader who won't be able to find PyEval_InitThreads in
+the current (future for us) Python API. IMO, use of the #if along
+with an accompanying comment seemed more straightforward.
+
+gdb/ChangeLog:
+
+ * python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Don't call
+ PyEval_InitThreads for Python 3.9 and beyond.
