New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>: Windows and the major POSIX platforms (including Linux and macOS) now support loading C extension with a version-tagged name (and build them likewise), such as "foobar.cpython-36.so".
Following the discussion in https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-December/151328.html, I propose to remove the ability to load untagged C extension names on those platforms. IOW, "foobar.dll" or "foobar.so" will not be recognized when "import foobar" is executed anymore. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 308741 nosy: brett.cannon, eric.snow, ncoghlan, ned.deily, paul.moore, pitrou, ronaldoussoren, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Disallow untagged C extension import on major platforms type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32387> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
