Worked on the geerlingguy/linux repository to improve the stability and cross-distribution compatibility of the perf Python utility. Addressed a Fedora 43 build issue by updating the Python/C-API integration, specifically replacing deprecated PyUnicode_AsString() calls with PyUnicode_AsUTF8() and introducing robust error handling for PyObject_Str() operations. Focused on enhancing code maintainability and preventing runtime failures by modernizing string handling across Python versions. Utilized C and Python to ensure the build system remained reliable on newer distributions. The work reduced build failures and support overhead, contributing to a more stable and maintainable Python/C extension codebase for the project.
