Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

@Eclips4 please add skip-news label & review

I think it would make sense to have an issue, just for backports tracking. I'll create one.

@picnixz thanks a lot

@picnixz I don't think that we need any test case here. What do you think?

@uhx Could you take care of the backports please? you'll need to find the tests (they could have moved somewhere else)

@picnixz sure thing, I took a quick look at it yesterday but didn't find anything.

I checked the PR that introduced this test and noticed that this change was not included into 3.14:

• gh-132551: make BytesIO object free-thread safe #132616 (comment)

I also couldn't find these changes in any of the versions (3.13, 3.14)

Oh so they were only 3.15+, no need for backports for now! Thank for having a look. However, I think #132616 should have been backported as it's a bugfix IMO.
