Overview
Explore the benefits of moving the Python ecosystem to the stable Application Binary Interface (ABI) in this 31-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2024. Delve into the challenges posed by the frequently changing Python C API and learn how the stable ABI offers a solution by providing a more consistent interface for C extensions. Discover how this transition can reduce the maintenance burden on C extension developers and simplify binary package distribution across multiple Python versions. Gain insights into the potential impact on the Python ecosystem and the future of C extension development.
