Hi All.
The new Python release have an interesting feature regarding extensions. they want to support one lib directory for multiple python versions. Python compiles its libraries, and each compilation is interpreter-version-specific, so in the previous release, they made sure the the compiled files are added the interpreter version. mylib.py => mylib-32.pyc that way each interpreter get its own files. now they took it one step farther: the dynamic libraries compiled for python (like Perl's XS) include the version. (and some compiling flag) so instead of mydll.so, they will have mydll.py32u.so I'm not sure how they manage the problem of compiling the DLLs for all the python versions that exists on the machine. Anyway, very nice idea. Shmuel. _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
