    🎡 Build Python wheels for all the platforms with minimal configuration.

  • 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.
