Python has supported using dynload_shlib (using dlopen) on AIX since https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c19c5a62aef7dce0e8147655b0d2f087965fae75 in 2003. 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.
For reference, I opened https://bugs.python.org/issue42030 and changes were merged in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/22717. I opened a PR to update PEP 11 in https://github.com/python/peps/issues/1653, but was told this needed discussion here. Sorry if this didn't quite follow the process correctly, I thought I had things in the right order, but I guess not. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/5TQQVERJDL6GU2OZBOBJM7RPWY7MAJBJ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
