Binary wheels uploaded to PyPI seem to work fine regardless of the exact bugfix version. > Third party C extensions distributed as portable wheel packages using the > stable ABI is different use case. Most wheel packages don't use the stable ABI. They are tied to a Python version such as 2.7, but they don't differentiate between e.g. 2.7.5 and 2.7.15. We don't break the ABI between bugfix releases. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34814> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
