Sorry for the noise, just tried to capitalize Python in all its ocurrences. Also suggested to add a TLDR at the beginning so we can have a self-contained intro broken by the "Read more" link introduced by the <!-- truncate --> magic.

LGTM. Do you have a list of packages where you want to implement that? Just curious.

Not really. I was looking at packages in my dev environment that had compiled extensions.

[isuruf]

I'll keep this open for a couple of days for comments and merge. Thanks for the reviews.

One small nit/question, rest looks good!

Possible improvements:

• I think it would be helpful to provide some things to look for for contributors to tell whether a given package has a pure python fallback implementation, because not all do...
• We might want to reference the efforts around abi3 & limited ABI, which are kind of adjacent in terms of thrust (while they are compiled, they'd still be usable immediately when a new python implementation/variant comes out).

Missing "often"?

I don't want to start announcing those things until they are ready.

@jaimergp any idea on the CI failure?

[jaimergp]

We don't use Go for anything. Push an empty commit to see if it was a flaky thing on Netlify's side and if not I'll check tomorrow.

Thanks Isuru! 🙏

Had a few suggestions below

Think it would be nice to embed an example from your work with a little discussion about how you added it. This may help others pick up this effort and carry it forward

[jakirkham]

It might be nice for readers to include an example from a simple one in the blogpost itself. Perhaps could use a diff format to highlight relevant changes

pre-commit.ci autofix

[h-vetinari]

I'm fine with the text, but I'd like to provide a smoother on-ramp for contributors, since we're asking for help explicitly.

[h-vetinari]

I think if we're asking people for help, we need to at least have a tracking issue for discussion and questions, and ideally provide a short list (even if incomplete) of packages that we know have a non-compiled fallback and are "eligible". Otherwise this fails at step 0 IMO - "which feedstock should I tackle?"

LGTM! Approval is independent of a not very important typo
