What about the CAPI functions like PyFile_FromFile() and PyFile_AsFile() that take a FILE* as argument? Or functions like PyErr_SetFromErrno() that use the errno thread local variable? These function will either crash or not work properly with mixed CRTs. Every CRT has its own errno TLS, so Python won't see the errno of a CRT100 function like open(2), see http://bugs.python.org/issue15883 . I don't understand how a stable Python ABI solves the issue of unstable CRT ABIs. Are you planning to address these issues?
