PEP 384 (limited ABI)

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Hi all, and happy holidays!

The new releases of SIP and PyQt are using the limited set of Python ABI [1]
defined in PEP 384 [2], so that the same .so files work with different Python
versions.

As there seems to be no PEP 384 support in dh_python3, I wonder if I should:

A) Build with only one Python 3 version and install the .so files with
   foo.abi3.so filenames (so no rebuilds will be needed for Python updates);
B) Do not change anything: build for all supported Python 3 versions and
   let dh_python3 rename the files;
C) Anything else?

I could not find any discussion of this PEP in Debian except a couple of
messages from 2010 [3].

Bug#849812: ITP: requests-ntlm -- HTTP NTLM authentication using the requests library

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Dominic Hargreaves 

* Package name: requests-ntlm
  Version : 1.0.0
  Upstream Author : Ben Toews  et al
* URL : https://github.com/requests/requests-ntlm
* License : ISC
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : HTTP NTLM authentication using the requests library

HttpNtlmAuth can be used in conjunction with a Session in order to make
use of connection pooling. Since NTLM authenticates connections, this
is more efficient. Otherwise, each request will go through a new NTLM
challenge-response.

This is a new dependency of pywinrm, and will be maintained as part of
the Python Modules Team.

Re: PEP 384 (limited ABI)

Hi Dmitry (2016.12.31_18:07:17_+0200)

cffi modules will also now use the limited ABI, where possible, so I've
played with them a bit.

> A) Build with only one Python 3 version and install the .so files with
>foo.abi3.so filenames (so no rebuilds will be needed for Python updates);

I think dh_python3 already has the necessary support for that.

Just one thing to watch out for: python3-dbg builds will also use
abi3.so, but aren't actually compatible.
