I merged my PR.

If it causes too many trouble in 3rd party C extensions (require to update too many C extensions before Python 3.13 beta1), I can make this change conditional only in the limited C API version 3.13, as I did for other headers inPython.h:

// errno.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h and string.h headers are no longer used by Python// headers, but kept for backward compatibility (no introduce new compiler// warnings). They are not included by the limited C API version 3.11 and// above.#if !defined(Py_LIMITED_API) || Py_LIMITED_API+0 < 0x030b0000#  include <errno.h>              // errno#  include <stdio.h>              // FILE*#  include <stdlib.h>             // getenv()#  include <string.h>             // memcpy()#endif

I consider that<unistd.h> is less commonly used by than the very common<errno.h>,<stdio.h>,<stdlib.h> and<string.h>. Again, if it causes too much burden, I can make the change conditional.

breaks signalmodule.c

breaks signalmodule.c

Would you mind to elaborate your comment "a little bit"? What is broken? Is it a build issue? On which Python version? On which OS (name, version) and compiler (name, version)?

signalmodule.c calls pause() and alarm() (under #ifdef HAVE_{PAUSE,ALARM} guards), which are defined in unistd.h

On the Python version where you deleted unistd.h from Python.h, of course.

signalmodule.c calls pause() and alarm() (under #ifdef HAVE_{PAUSE,ALARM} guards), which are defined in unistd.h

Hum, in fact, <unistd.h> is included indirectly by pycore_pythread.h. But well, I wrote PR#111402 to make it extra clear.

Which is not necessarily included when signalmodule.c is compiled ... it wasn't in my build. (Which I've abandoned ... I never actually intended to build the top of tree.)

Seems like the right thing to do.

You didn't reply to my question about OS and compiler... Also, pycore_pythread.h was modified recently.
