PEP 739: Static description file for build details of Python installations

Thanks. Apologies for not spotting the new version, I don’t typically see notifications from the PEPs repo. The revision has addressed my concerns, thanks for that.

With this latest update, I’m pleased to say that the PEP is approved. Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussion, and congratulations to @FFY00.

One note - the “human readable” version of the JSON schema used in the PEP is very much appreciated. It’s far easier to read than the raw schema definitions I’ve occasionally seen elsewhere. I assume a tool was used to produce it (if you did it by hand, my appreciation is even greater!) but the results were definitely worthwhile.

One minor editorial comment that I hadn’t spotted earlier:

  • abi.extension_suffix - states that the entry will be missing if the implementation doesn’t support extensions, but says required=True. I assume required should be False.

I’m happy for the position on this field to be clarified without affecting my approval of the PEP.
