For FreeBSD Python language ports, the change doesn't have a big negative impact for the Python language/interpreter ports themselves

We have the following block in lang/python3? ports:

.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MPYMALLOC}
ABIFLAGS:=      m${ABIFLAGS}
.endif

.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MDEBUG}
ABIFLAGS:=      d${ABIFLAGS}
.endif


We then use the variable to substitute the correct suffix into the pkg-plist items:

.if !empty(ABIFLAGS)
PLIST_FILES+=   bin/python${PYTHON_VER}${ABIFLAGS} \
                bin/python${PYTHON_VER}${ABIFLAGS}-config \
                libdata/pkgconfig/python-${PYTHON_VER}${ABIFLAGS}.pc
<snip>
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/Tools/gdb/libpython.py \
                ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/lib/libpython${PYTHON_VER}${ABIFLAGS}.so.1.0-gdb.py

One question I have is, can/does SOABI flag removal affect any third party package/extension builds in any way, particularly affecting the names of files they produce?

We have a ton of python packages/extensions in the ports tree, so anything that affected their builds, particularly when it comes to setuptools --record output changes, would be a blocker for supporting 3.8

For example, we had to produce custom ports framework code to account for PEP488 [1] and PEP3147 [2] filename suffixes, for these filename differences, which was painful at the time:

# PEP 0488 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488/)
.if ${PYTHON_REL} < 3500
PYTHON_PYOEXTENSION=    pyo
.else
PYTHON_PYOEXTENSION=    opt-1.pyc
.endif


.if ${PYTHON_REL} >= 3200 && defined(_PYTHON_FEATURE_PY3KPLIST)
# When Python version is 3.2+ we rewrite all the filenames
# of TMPPLIST that end with .py[co], so that they conform
# to PEP 3147 (see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/)
