Bug ID: 23830
Summary: use the stable python 3 ABI
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: python
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: tromey at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---

Perhaps gdb could use the Python 3 stable ABI:

https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html

This would make it possible to compile gdb against one version
of Python 3 but then have it use any version of Python 3 that
is found on the user's machine -- that is, it would help in
situations where one wants to copy the gdb executable
somewhere else.
