still the best alternative I’ve seen.  It’s unambiguous, self-descriptive, and 
can’t be confused with unpacking syntax.

What do the PEP authors think about `except group`?  Bikeshedding aside, that’s 
still the best alternative I’ve seen.  It’s unambiguous, self-descriptive, and 
can’t be confused with unpacking syntax.

It's the asterisk `*`, not the case of the names, that makes it look 
like sequence unpacking.

Sequence unpacking works on sequences of types or other names that start 
with capital letters. There is no difference between unpacking a tuple 
of classes with a capital letter and a tuple of classes with names that 
start with lower case letters:

a, b, c = *(ValueError, TypeError, Exception)
a, b, c = *(int, float, str)

Shockingly, we can even use mixed case and unusual naming conventions!

obj, Module = (None, sys)

Then we would have to decide whether to allow

except (E1, *E2) as error: ...

and if so, what it would mean.

Seconding that.

I'd also like to add a big thank you to all the contributors for engaging
through each release with the downstream Python redistributors as well,
hearing us, working with us, helping us shape the future of a big part of
the linux (and not only) ecosystem.

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

Hi everyone,

Now that 3.10.0 is finally released I wanted to take the time to thank you
all for all your fantastic
work this past year. Is because of the sum of all your fantastic work that
Python 3.10 is going to be
such a fantastic release. No matter if you have been working in fixing
bugs, adding features,
improving the documentation, reviewing contributor PRs, helping with the
infrastructure, helping with
the buildbot fleet, triaging bugs or discussing PEPs and features, your
work is tremendously appreciated:
you make a tremendous impact in Python and its community.

I also wanted to make sure to thank again all the people that helped with
the release itself and with the
numerous release blockers and also for your patience when I had to delay
your feature to 3.11 or your
bugfix to 3.10.1.

It has been a privilege to be able to release the result of your work to
the community!

Thank you all, your work really makes a difference.

Regards from sunny London,
Pablo Galindo Salgado

But it only looks like splatting because you changed it from `(E1, E2)` to
`(e1, e2)` where Title Case names will look like a matched type and lower
case names will look like destination names. So, given these will be class
names and 99.9% Title Case, Option 1 does not really fail under your
suggested confusion here.

Your installation is picking up header files from LibreSSL. Python 3.10 
requires a fully OpenSSL 1.1.1 API compliant OpenSSL. LibreSSL is 
missing a bunch of required features.


Please follow the instruction 
https://docs.python.org/3.10/using/unix.html#custom-openssl to compile, 
install, and use a custom installation of OpenSSL. I recommend that you 
use the latest OpenSSL 1.1.1 version.

libreSSL in the package manager.

The configure seems to passthe ssl test.

I don't think X[Y | Z] is close to any syntax match currently allows.

But... I have long thought that the interpreter's exception matching abilities 
were underused by the language. Maybe this is an opportunity for something else 
interesting, in general?

The problem being, besides the general extra complexity, that the match 
statement's variable capture semantics are different to the `as name` syntax 
already used by the except statement.

I vote #2, because `except *(e1, e2) as e:` could imply that this is splatting 
an arbitrary expression there - it looks like it will match any number of 
dynamically chosen exception types.

I think that's unfortunate, you can still use and format the subset of Python 
3.10 syntax with black.

You already do this on python 3.9 for example black doesn't support

Just a quick note: Until black supports py3.10 fully, I'm sticking with py3.9
for dear life.

Actually you can do this. The list of compatible wheels for a platform
starts at CPython 3.2 when the stable ABI was introduced and goes 
forward
to the version of Python you are running. So you can build a wheel 
file
that targets the oldest version of CPython that you are targeting and 
its

version of the stable ABI and it is considered forward compatible. See
`python -m pip debug --verbose` for the complete list of wheel tags 
that

are supported for an interpreter.



I think Phil's point is a build side one: as far as I know, the process 
for
getting one of those more generic file names is still to build a wheel 
with

an overly precise name for the stable ABI declarations used, and then
rename it.

The correspondence between "I used these stable ABI declarations in my
module build" and "I can use this more broadly accepted wheel name" is
currently obscure enough that I couldn't tell you off the top of my 
head
how to do it, and I contributed to the design of both sides of the 
equation.


Actually improving the build ergonomics would be hard (and outside
CPython's own scope), but offering a table in the stable ABI docs 
giving

suggested wheel tags for different stable ABI declarations should be
feasible, and would be useful to both folks renaming already built 
wheels

and anyone working on improving the build automation tools.


Actually I was able to do what I wanted without renaming wheels...

Specify 'py_limited_api=True' as an argument to Extension() (using 
setuptools v57.0.0).


Specify...

[bdist_wheel]
py_limited_api = cp36

...in setup.cfg (using wheel v0.34.2).

The resulting wheel has a Python tag of 'cp36' and an ABI tag of 'abi3' 
for all platforms, which is interpreted by the current version of pip 
exactly as I want.


I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere.

Indeed, thinking about proper wheel tags, and adding support for them in 
both pip/installer and setuptools/build/poetry/etc., would be a very 
helpful way to contribute to the stable ABI.

I don't think I will be able to get to this any time soon.

The current `abi3` tag doesn't encode the minimum ABI version. AFAIK 
that info should go in the "Requires-Python" wheel metadata, but there's 
not automation or clear guides for that. Putting it in the wheel tag 
might be a good idea.


There are vague ideas floating around about removing old stable ABI 
features (hopefully after they're deprecated for 5-10 years); if there's 
a new wheel tag scheme it should be made with that possibility in mind.
