My understanding is that if you are using the PyRun_* API (embedding?), you aren't concerned with maintaining binary compatibility across Python versions. If you are writing an extension module, you probably aren't using PyRun_*. > > Another question: it's not documented if a function is part or not > part of the stable ABI.

I've been meaning to work on the C-API docs for a while and add a concise reference page that would include a summary of the stable API. Alas, other things have taken precedence. -eric _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
