I just looked at PEP 384 and I don't see anything in it about version numbers in the interfaces. I certainly think something like that should be added if it's not too late. Basically any extension module should check that the CPython loading it is new enough, and CPython should (when feasible) continue to support old interfaces when changes are made. This is pretty standard stuff as done in COM, Java, and presumably .NET, along with many communications protocols. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
