+Subject: 00466: Downstream only: Lower XML_COMBINED_VERSION threshold for
+ reparse deferral
+
+RHEL 9 expat 2.5.0 has XML_SetReparseDeferralEnabled backported
+via the CVE-2023-52425 fix, but XML_COMBINED_VERSION remains 20500.
+CPython's #if XML_COMBINED_VERSION >= 20600 guards compile the setter
+as a no-op, so SetReparseDeferralEnabled silently does nothing and
+GetReparseDeferralEnabled always returns False, even though the expat
+library actually supports (and enables) reparse deferral.
+
+Lower the threshold from 20600 to 20500 so that CPython uses the
+backported function. This makes the Python API actually work on RHEL 9
+and fixes test failures (test_reparse_deferral_disabled,
+test_flush_reparse_deferral_disabled, test_simple_xml_chunk_*).
+
+The spec file BuildRequires expat-devel >= 2.5.0-2 to ensure the
+backported function is available.

+Subject: 00477: Raise an error when importing stdlib modules compiled for a
+ different Python version
+
+This is a downstream workaround "implementing" python#137212 -
+the mechanism for the check exists in Python 3.15+, where it needs to be
+added to the standard library modules.
+In Fedora, we need it also in previous Python versions, as we experience
+segmentation fault when importing stdlib modules after update while
+Python is running.
+
+_curses, _tkinter, _tracemalloc and readline are not calling PyModuleDef_Init,
+which is modified with this patch, hence they need a
+direct call to the check function.

+# Raise an error when importing stdlib modules compiled for a different Python version
+#
+# This is a downstream workaround "implementing" python#137212 -
+# the mechanism for the check exists in Python 3.15+, where it needs to be
+# added to the standard library modules.
+# In Fedora, we need it also in previous Python versions, as we experience
+# segmentation fault when importing stdlib modules after update while
+# Python is running.
+#
+# _curses, _tkinter, _tracemalloc and readline are not calling PyModuleDef_Init,
+# which is modified with this patch, hence they need a
+# direct call to the check function.
