Does this work for you,@zooba? Re.#101819 (comment)

Can you remove theCheck macro entirely? It's got to go if we're supporting multiple instances of the module, so may as well just go now.

I'd kinda like to see a few moretstate parameters being passed around, but I guess if the lower level APIs don't take them then there's nowhere to pass them 🤷‍♂️

The one inPC/_testconsole.c,Python/pylifecycle.c, or both? I assume the assert inModules/_io/winconsoleio.c should stay.

I was thinking the definition in_iomodule.h and anywhere it's used, but I see now that's fully internal anyway.

Provided we're not changing any supported public API, it's fine.

AFAICS,_iomodule.h is not included inPython.h, so we should be fine.

Perhaps we should wait for#101919 to land, before merging this 😄 cc.@ericsnowcurrently

Don't worry about waiting for that PR to merge. I don't think it conflicts. Regardless, I don't mind fixing my branch if needed.

Status check is done, and it's a success ✅.

Thanks for the reviews; highly appreciated.
