Getting back to this after the US holiday. Thanks for running these numbers Scott. I've opened a bug in the Python tracker and attached my latest patch:

http://bugs.python.org/issue9193 The one difference from previous versions of the patch is that the .so tag is now settable via "./configure --with-so-abi-tag=foo". This would generate shared libs like multiprocessing.foo.so. I'd like to get consensus as to whether folks feel that a PEP is needed. My own thought is that I'd rather not do a PEP specific to this change, but I would update PEP 384 with the implications on .so versioning. Please also feel free to review the patch in that issue.

I can see where this is going... writing it into PEP 384 would automatically get the change accepted?
