[Tracker-discuss] [issue506] Remove Extension Modules from Components:

[Terry Reedy]

New submission from Terry Reedy:

I presume component'Extension Modules' refers to stdlib modules coded in C *instead of* Python, that latter living in /Lib. We recently removed the Extension Modules header from What's New as it was little used, even for extension modules, and b) it presumes an increasingly obsolete exclusive-or situation, whereas modules are increasingly coded in both C and Python. I propose that it also be removed from the tracker when not set already, and that the '(Lib)' suffix for the 'Library' component be removed. An additional problem for the tracker is that one must know the current situation to set the headers properly.
