[issue22980] C extension naming doesn't take bitness into account

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

I'm very much in favor of adding this for .pyds on Windows.

I assume the hard part will be getting the details for Linux (doesn't bitness have to be compiled in there? For Windows it can be determined at compile-time...), but preferring an extension with the ABI tag and falling back on one without seems easy enough.

(Would/could this also work for .py files? So a 2.7/3.x or Jython/CPython/IronPython package could include tags in pure-Python code files?)
