Nice! Just a terminology issue: the Python interface doesn't deal with UTF-8 (bytes); in py3 it always took a Unicode string.

For completeness, could you mention the pre-3.11 limitation in the documentation? (I think it's OK to only have it in the 3.11+ docs, but IMO it should be there for people porting code from 3.11 to previous versions.)

Thanks for the heads up and the suggested improvements.

Of course.

The address sanitiser test timed out during one of the multiprocessing tests. Looks unrelated.

I see @pablogsal added the address sanitizer in #26640.
Is it normally flaky?

No regarding detection of problems but a small subset of times it times out. What error are you experiencing?

test_get in test_multiprocessing_fork timed out in both test runs on the last CI run. I can't recall seeing that particular failure before. See attached log.
