LLDB fails to build against Python 2.X, I get the following error message:

/path/to/llvm-build/src/lldb/source/Plugins/ScriptInterpreter/Python/PythonReadline.cpp:52:25:
error: use of undeclared identifier 'PyMem_RawMalloc'; did you mean
'PyMem_Malloc'?
    char *ret = (char *)PyMem_RawMalloc(1);
                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 warning and 2 errors generated.

According to the Python documentation, PyMem_RawMalloc() was only introduced in
3.4: [https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/memory.html](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/memory.html)

Looking at the cherry-picks between llvmorg-9.0.0-rc5 and llvmorg-9.0.1-rc1, I
suspect that this is caused by [https://reviews.llvm.org/D69793](https://reviews.llvm.org/D69793).

Comment # 1 on bug 44225 from labath@google.com

This was fixed by d5904988, and it looks like that commit was already
cherry-picked into the release branch (as 9b2d207cf) -- it just didn't make it
in time for rc1. The next release candidate should include it.

Closing this now, but if you do see this happening after rc2, then please do
reopen this bug.
