What an amazing read. Now I know why my pip installs are failing in 3.12 but we now have a brighter future ahead.

Also while I love Python it’s helpful to understand why Python packaging is a (manageable) mess. It’s because of non standardization of build tools for C/C++/fortran and the immensity of the ecosystem, nothing to do with Python itself. It’s part irreducible complexity.

It’s a miracle it works at all.
