Is the following expected?

$ for impl in python{2.7,3.{3,4,5}}; do ${impl} -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_config_var('SOABI'))"; done

See how extensions are named.

The change to the extension module file names is described here.

https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.5.html#build-and-c-api-changes

From configure.ac:

SOABI='cpython-'`echo $VERSION | tr -d .`${ABIFLAGS}${PLATFORM_TRIPLET:+-$PLATFORM_TRIPLET}

PLATFORM_TRIPLET is set based on cpp test.
