	What's New In Python 3.2

	This article explains the new features in Python 3.2 as compared to 3.1. Python 3.2 was released on February 20, 2011. It focuses on a few highlights and gives a few examples. For full details, see the `Misc/NEWS <https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/076ca6c3c8df3030307e548d9be792ce3c1c6eea/Misc/NEWS>`__ file.
	:pep:`392` - Python 3.2 Release Schedule
	PEP 384: Defining a Stable ABI
	In the past, extension modules built for one Python version were often not usable with other Python versions. Particularly on Windows, every feature release of Python required rebuilding all extension modules that one wanted to use. This requirement was the result of the free access to Python interpreter internals that extension modules could use.
	With Python 3.2, an alternative approach becomes available: extension modules which restrict themselves to a limited API (by defining Py_LIMITED_API) cannot use many of the internals, but are constrained to a set of API functions that are promised to be stable for several releases. As a consequence, extension modules built for 3.2 in that mode will also work with 3.3, 3.4, and so on. Extension modules that make use of details of memory structures can still be built, but will need to be recompiled for every feature release.
