Hi, It occurs to me that there's very little guarantee of a stable API in Python modules - less so in C modules, because upstream tends to be more aware that this is a library, but in pure Python modules. In lib* libraries, we (usually) have SONAMEs which provide some kind of contract between the .so and the consuming application. Is there an equivalent practice in pure Python modules that is implemented widely enough to be useful? The question came about because the upstream author of RedNotebook ships a number of convenience copies, sometimes heavily modified, because he is nervous about APIs changing suddenly and wasting his work. It's likely that there will be more of these in the near future. Is there anything with which I can reassure him and reduce the amount of duplicated code in this application? Of course I may have missed something very obvious, so please say so if I have. Thanks, -- Jonathan Wiltshire 1024D: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
