It's a new feature in Python 3.2 to allow multiple versions of shared C object files that differ in configure options (i.e. ones that affect the Python C ABI) to co-exist in one Python installation. "m" means that they were built with pymalloc. Other flags are "d" for debug, and "u" for wide-unicode. http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/3.2.html#pep-3149-abi-version-tagged -so-files -- Ned Deily, [email protected] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
