There is certainly support for ABI versioning; the ABI version defined in the PEP is called "python3.dll". > Or do you suggest bumping to the next major > number (4.0, 5.0...) be done on the basis of ABI changes? No, vice versa. The PEP promises that the ABI won't change until Python 4. For any change that might break the ABI, either a backwards-compatible solution needs to be found, or the change be deferred to Python 4. ---------- title: Make hash values the same width as a pointer (or Py_ssize_t) -> Make hash values the same width as a pointer (or Py_ssize_t) _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9778> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
