5736 <para>
5737 Denotes the Application Binary Interface (ABI) currently
5738 in use for Python.
5739 By default, the ABI is "m".
5740 </para>
5741
5742 <para>
5743 The OpenEmbedded build system uses the ABI to construct
5744 directory names used when installing the Python headers
5745 and libraries in sysroot
5746 (e.g. <filename>.../python3.3m/...</filename>).

5750 Recipes that inherit the
5751 <link linkend='ref-classes-distutils'><filename>distutils</filename></link>
5752 class during cross-builds also use this variable to
5753 locate the headers and libraries of the appropriate Python
5754 that the extension is targeting.

5762 Specifies the major Python version being built.
5763 For Python 2.x, <filename>PYTHON_PN</filename> would
5764 be "python2". For Python 3.x, the variable would be
5765 "python3".

5768 <para>
5769 The variable allows recipes to use common infrastructure
5770 such as the following:
5771 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
5772 DEPENDS += "${PYTHON_PN}-native"
5773 </literallayout>
5774 In the previous example, the version of the dependency
5775 is <filename>PYTHON_PN</filename>.
