    Research direction

    Start by reviewing the attached platform-stable-abi.diff and the Extension Modules context from BPO 44230. Trace how stable-ABI extensions are currently looked up and identify the platform-specific naming behavior. Done means stable-ABI extensions are found under the intended platform-specific name for the targeted Python versions.
