Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Rip – Rust crate to resolve and install Python packages
There are even libraries for that!

Use the XDG Base Directory Specification
At least for rust applications of your own, you can use the library https://github.com/dirs-dev/directories-rs to follow XDG on Linux as well as platform conventions on Mac and Windows.

[ANN] Released `config-finder`, a crate to easily help your CLI app find all its config files
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see this pop up about two weeks after there was no response to this reply on #47: Support for using ~/.config on Mac for command line apps on directories-rs:
- "directories" crate version 4.0.0 broken on MacOS

Balm in GILead: Fast string construction for CPython extensions
It doesn't work with any version of the public API, Limited, Stable, or Unstable, because this is not a part of the API. It's more of an application of [Hyrum's Law](https://www.hyrumslaw.com/).
That said, assuming the structures themselves exist on the versions of Python you're targeting in a format compatible with whatever hacking you're doing on them, it's very easy to compile for lots of Python versions using [cibuildwheel](https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel) and the rest of the PyPA ecosystem.
I don't think the Limited API is very useful, as a practical matter for the common distribution methods you need the wheel to be built with the target Python version.

Bundling binary tools in Python wheels
> size of wheels you can upload is constrained by PyPi
I feel PyPi is pretty generous with their limits. You can even request more once you hit the ceiling, i think it’s around 60MB [1]. There are some wheels that are crazy large, tensorflow-gpu [2] are around 500MB each. I think there’s discussions out there to try and find ways of alleviating this problem on PyPi.
> difficult to support multiple versions across multiple operating systems, unless you provide a source distribution, which is then…
This can be a problem but I’ve found that recently the problem has improved quite a lot. You can create manylinux wheels for both x86, x64, and arm64 which cover pretty a lot of the Linux distributions using glibc. A musllinux tag was recently added to cover musl based distributions like Alpine. MacOS wheels support both x64, arm64, and can even be a universal2 wheel. Windows is still purely x86 or x64 for now but I’ve seen some people work on arm64 support support in CPython and once that’s in I’m sure PyPi won’t be too far around. There are also some great tools like cibuildwheel [3] that make building and testing these wheels pretty simple.
> Still a nightmare on Windows
I’m actually curious what is a nightmare about Windows. I found that Windows is probably the easiest of all the platforms to build and upload wheels for. You aren’t limited to a tiny subset of system libs, like you are on Linux, and building them is mostly the same process. Probably the hardest thing is ensuring you have tue correct vs build kit installed but that’s not insurmountable.
