  • When Python is running on 32-bit ARM Android on a 64-bit ARM kernel, os.uname().machine is armv8l. Such devices run the same userspace code as armv7l devices, so apply the same armeabi_v7a Android ABI to them, which works.

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

Thanks, this looks fine, but please also update the corresponding code in test_get_platform in test_sysconfig.py.

Also, pardon me for asking, but when you put the "needs backport to 3.13" and "needs backport to 3.14" labels on this, does that mean that I should open follow-up PRs afterward targeting those branches of Python, or will you do that?
I targeted the development branch which is, I suppose, Python 3.15. I'm aware that this patch would need slight editing to apply to Python 3.13 and that it would work when applied there, but I can do that if necessary.

No need, it will be done automatically by a bot when this PR is merged, which I hope @encukou can do now.

Sorry, @robertkirkman and @encukou, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.13 due to a conflict.
Please backport using cherry_picker on command line.
