<glossentry id='var-PYTHON_ABI'><glossterm>PYTHON_ABI</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
Denotes the Application Binary Interface (ABI) currently
in use for Python.
By default, the ABI is "m".
</para>
<para>
The OpenEmbedded build system uses the ABI to construct
directory names used when installing the Python headers
and libraries in sysroot
(e.g. <filename>.../python3.3m/...</filename>).
</para>
<para>
Recipes that inherit the
<link linkend='ref-classes-distutils'><filename>distutils</filename></link>
class during cross-builds also use this variable to
locate the headers and libraries of the appropriate Python
that the extension is targeting.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry id='var-PYTHON_PN'><glossterm>PYTHON_PN</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
Specifies the major Python version being built.
For Python 2.x, <filename>PYTHON_PN</filename> would
be "python2". For Python 3.x, the variable would be
"python3".
</para>
<para>
The variable allows recipes to use common infrastructure
such as the following:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
DEPENDS += "${PYTHON_PN}-native"
</literallayout>
In the previous example, the version of the dependency
is <filename>PYTHON_PN</filename>.
