Ned Deily added the comment: I think we can close this as finished. The only remaining item I can think of is to add something to the 3.5 What's New document but that should be done as part of Issue22980 for all affected platforms. -- status: open -> closed __

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Ned: Keeping "darwin" as the platform tag is fine with me. It is slightly ugly because it doesn't match the platform tag used by distutils/setuptools, but is also something that most users won't use directly. That said: there was some talk about supporting iO

Ned Deily added the comment: "If you want to recognize architecture specific sonames" For OS X we don't have a need to recognize architecture specific sonames because we want to continue to defer to the operating system to make the decisions about which, if any, architecture binary to load fro

New submission from Matthias Klose: split out from http://bugs.python.org/issue22980#msg232065 please consider setting the SOABI for MacOSX. Afaics MacOSX is now the only major platform not setting these, at least including the SOABI. The idea is that it would be possible to ship "fat" wheels
