Closes #108525

Please see issue #108525 for background. I could not find any information in the documentation on if ABI compatibility between bugfix release shared objects is a warranty. However, using the private API in the C support libraries like _ssl appears to be common and would cause ABI breakage on private API changes.

If this interpretation is incorrect, please let me know as I think clarification would be helpful regardless.

  • Issue: ImportError: _ssl.so: undefined symbol: _PyModule_Add #108525

I feel that this is not the right place for this note, since in this case the user is not really interacting with the C API. Why would someone look here?

In what situation would you use an internal extension with a different build of Python?
