Since the extensions get the symbols from the Python interpreter on dynamic load, I can see the risk here in case of third-party software, where the interpreter gets recompiled against a new glibc version and the extension is left alone. However, the extensions are recompiled whenever the interpreter is and so will always be compatible with the 'current' glibc version. There is no need to keep an eye out for future versions. Or is there? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
