I have now completed http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0384/ Benjamin has volunteered to rule on this PEP. Please comment with any changes you want to see, or speak in favor or against this PEP. I looked at a diff with r84330 from the py3k branch. Extensions built with PyLIMITEDAPI have the python version encoded in it's name.  Which abi name should be used for these extensions? ..  - Should the distutils support for LIMITEDAPI be part of the pep, or be implemented later?

In any case, it has to be implemented in Distutils2, not in Distutils. Distutils is frozen and just in maintenance mode.

Once Distutils2 final is released (it's currently in alpha), it will be installable from 2.4 to 3.x and can provide this feature.

For Python itself we can backport the feature in its setup.py, until Distutils2 is back to the sdtlib

In favour of the pep.
