============== objspace.soabi ============== * **name:** soabi * **description:** Tag to differentiate extension modules built for different Python interpreters * **command-line:** --soabi * **option type:** string option This option controls the tag included into extension module file names. The default is something like `pypy-14`, which means that `import foo` will look for a file named `foo.pypy-14.so` (or `foo.pypy-14.pyd` on Windows). This is an implementation of PEP3149_, with two differences: * the filename without tag `foo.so` is not considered. * the feature is also available on Windows. When set to the empty string (with `--soabi=`), the interpreter will only look for a file named `foo.so`, and will crash if this file was compiled for another Python interpreter. .. _PEP3149: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3149/
