Project mention: Convert Images Into Pencil Sketch | dev.to | 2024-04-11

Have you ever felt like your photos needed a little extra touch to stand out? Well, get ready because we're about to learn a cool Python trick! We're going to take ordinary photos and turn them into awesome pencil sketches using Python and OpenCV. This will make your pictures look like they were drawn by hand!

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.

twine

17 1,538 8.2 Python

Utilities for interacting with PyPI

Project mention: Private Python Packages With devpi | dev.to | 2023-07-01

Twine is also an option if you'd rather stick with the traditional PyPi upload system. It does require an additional duplication of the keyring entry and a configuration file addition as well. First I'll create a $HOME\.pypirc file (make sure this is Powershell so $HOME expands properly) with the following contents:

py2exe

repairwheel

3 25 8.1 Python

Repair any wheel, anywhere

Project mention: Ask HN: What rabbit hole(s) did you dive into recently? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-22

I got into cross-compiling Python wheels (e.g., building macos wheels on linux and vice versa). Zig's `zig cc` does much of the heavy lifting, but one step in building a portable wheel is the "repair" process which vends native library dependencies into the wheel, necessitating binary patching (auditwheel does this for linux, delocate for macos).
I wanted to be able to do this cross platform, so I re-implemented ELF patching and Mach-O patching and adhoc signing in Python, and wrapped them into a tool called repairwheel: https://github.com/jvolkman/repairwheel
