[Python-Dev] What do PyAPI_FUNC & PyAPI_DATA mean?

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

Aha, so that is the rationale.  Because the export table on unix is so

I did some unix programming back in the day.  IRIX, actually (a Sys V derivative).  I'm pretty
sure we had to explicitly specify our .so exports.  But I might be mistaken.
