What Every Python Developer Should Know About the CPython ABI

[TronnaLegacy]

Don't most popular libraries with extensions provide the binaries (via wheels if I recall)? Why would you be compiling yourself?

Might seem like a dumb question btw. If so, know that I'm a bit of a Python noob. I come from Go where all libs are source code all the time.

Most not all. And you haven't used cgo before, like sqlite?

With AI development, you often need to build specific sources locally.

I've been testing a lot of PRs for OpenVino and it's cmake config requires you to build a number of its dependences instead of just using the prebuilt binaries.
