Ok. Looking through the history, I think I found an equivalent change to model after: when support for FreeBSD 9 and older was removed. https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/13ff24582c99dfb439b1af7295b401415e7eb05b ___ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/LQLPA3MCD4PKZZ7HHNH7EW4ZYKUD3IWA/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/

Ok, so given that AIX is not officially supported, should PEP 11 be updated? The change I made to drop dynload_aix may not be worth documenting there, but perhaps dropping support AIX 5.3 and below (as stated in https://bugs.python.org/issue40680) would be. ___ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/7AMVCHUFDKHNP7SNCTUW6KLWZRFIJC6F/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
[Python-Dev] Re: PEP 11: Drop support for AIX releases without dlopen
Interesting. Given that, shouldn't PEP 11 be updated with that change? Seems to me that PEP 11 only documents platforms with *official support*, so is AIX officially supported? The comment in the issue would indicate it is not officially supported, but it _is_ listed here: https://pythondev.readthedocs.io/platforms.html#python-platforms Batuhan Taskaya wrote: > As far as I am aware, we already dropped support for AIX 5.3<=.

[Python-Dev] PEP 11: Drop support for AIX releases without dlopen
Python has supported using dynload_shlib (using dlopen) on AIX since https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c19c5a62aef7dce0e8147655b0d2f087965fae75 in 2003. This is also about the time that AIX 4.3 went out of support, which is believed to be the AIX release that added support for dlopen. Considering it is now 20ish years later and in this time, every supported AIX release has had dlopen support, I suspect nobody has used or tested this code path in quite some time. I propose removing this support under PEP 11. For reference, I opened https://bugs.python.org/issue42030 and changes were merged in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/22717. I opened a PR to update PEP 11 in https://github.com/python/peps/issues/1653, but was told this needed discussion here. Sorry if this didn't quite follow the process correctly, I thought I had things in the right order, but I guess not. Also apologies if this is a duplicate, but my first message appears to have been lost/eaten (possibly a first-time moderation queue?). ___ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/7QVLHW36FBZBEHSEPNVXAKXGUQHP3WX5/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
