I was referring to ABI flags (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0425/#abi-tag), eg. the "m" when using pymalloc. If we do stick with a PEP 425 format, we should at least stay compatible to it - even if we don't necessarily need this on Windows. On Linux, the extensions use the PEP 3149 tags, e.g. readline.cpython-34m.so Wouldn't it make sense to change those to the same PEP 425 style format ? Exmaple: readline.cp35m-linux-x86_64.so The "_d" suffix on Windows would then turn into the "d" ABI flag. Note that this only works nicely for Linux. For other platforms, get_platform() returns a mess... e.g. on FreeBSD: freebsd-8.3-RELEASE-p3-i386 (32-bit) freebsd-8.3-RELEASE-p3-amd64 (64-bit) instead of the more useful freebsd-i386 freebsd-amd64 The situation is similar on other less main stream platforms, so it may make sense to define mappings other than get_platform() on those. > distutils uses the first extension from _imp.extension_suffixes() and so will > automatically tag binaries. I also tested with setuptools and Cython. Ah, clever. So no additional patches are needed :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
