Deprecate the silent layout switch, plan removal in 3.19 as per PEP 387.

Leave Windows alone; there's plenty of Windows-only ctypes code where this would just be noise.

Note: switching to '59f78d7b0609063d5eb7f2c2744540b47a8398fc'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

That failure was a timeout; the next builds passed.

Pranjal095 pushed a commit to Pranjal095/cpython that referenced this pull request Jul 12, 2025
… = 'ms' (pythonGH-133205)

On non-Windows, warn when _pack_ implicitly changes default _layout_
to 'ms'.
