Again (with little understanding) I'd ask a similar question: is there such a huge difference under the skin between Python 3.10 and 3.11 to render a prebuilt binary (torch or otherwise) for 3.10 incompatible with 3.11, on an otherwise identical platform?



The C API for Python changes between major Python versions. This means that native-code extensions (like torch) need to be build specifically for each version of Python they want to support.


Why doesn't torch use automated artifact generation? As in a virtual machine or a github actions that download dependencies and compile it when a new python version is released?
