New submission from Kevin <kad...@us.ibm.com>:
Python has supported using dynload_shlib (using dlopen) on AIX since https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c19c5a62aef7dce0e8147655b0d2f087965fae75 in 2003. While I have not found a definitive timeline of when AIX gained support for dlopen, I have found references going back to at least 2000. Considering this is now 20 years later and all supported AIX versions support dlopen, I suspect nobody has used or tested this code path in quite some time. I propose removing this support under PEP 11. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 378588 nosy: kadler priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Drop support for dynload_aix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42030> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
