Description

Python 3 has an option for supporting a Stable ABI that works across multiple version of Python 3, eg. 3.7 and 3.8. It would be great if bundle builder used the Stable ABI. If it were the default, then it it would increase the longevity of bundles in the Toolshed. Will need to investigate how this affects compile-time linking.

Implemented. Not as useful as one would wish. The Python unicode APIs, eg., PyUnicode_AsUTF8, is not part of the stable API.
