I may be wrong, but as I understand it Python doesn't really have an
ABI.  .pyc files are cached bytecode which you could say are ABI but
these are not part of the standard interface, are not distributed, etc.

As I see it the ABI question is not relevant for Python, the question
should be is the API stable.
