Hi,

The libpython library has been added to the ABI tracker: http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/python.html The page lists library versions and changes in API/ABI. Thanks. Do note that most of these changes are on private (internal) APIs that normal user code should never invoke / rely on (for example all those APIs starting with an underscore).

That's where having the stable ABI tracked as well would really come into its own, as any regressions in that are a big deal.

I also consider it a very good sign that the maintenance releases are very stable from an ABI perspective - that's exactly what it supposed to happen :)

Cheers, Nick.
