"library" is unclear word. "py?" files are "Python library" too.
I think "shared module" or "DLL" are bettor wording.

"Shared library" is probably the correct term. This change does not apply to the Windows DLLs or pyds, and using that term here may be confusing.

Changed wording to "shared library" |

I think the change is fine for master (3.8). As far as backporting, it is hard to make a case that the existing behavior is a bug since the choice of permissions was deliberate. Since the current behavior has been around for many years with little or no prior complaints, I don't think we should risk breaking anything by changing how the existing maintenance branches behave. |
