I’m enjoying UV a lot as well. If anyone from the Astral team sees this, I’d love to request more functionality or examples around packaging native libraries.
At this point, just thinking about updating CIBuildWheel images triggers PTSD—the GitHub CI pipelines become unbearably slow, even for raw CPython bindings that don’t require LibC or PyBind11. It’s especially frustrating because Python is arguably the ultimate glue language for native libraries. If Astral’s tooling could streamline this part of the workflow, I think we’d see a significant boost in the pace of both development & adoption for native and hardware-accelerated tools.
