Alpine Linux: Proposal to move Rust to main

  Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

  

There was a thing in February where Python cryptography required rust, which broke docker-compose installs via pip. [1]

There was a fair amount of back and forth about version pinning—it affected a lot of builds.

Even the issue on the crypto package about it was fairly tense. Iirc, the dependency was rolled back.

I am fairly certain it was not, e.g. see this issue (or just notice that there's still rust code in the codebase)

Ah, fair enough. I did a little more digging and it seems you can dynamically link rust binaries too now: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/422

  Core utilities for Python packages

  

Python supports Alpine just fine; indeed, the standard Docker Python images include Alpine variants.

If you mean binary wheels, PyPA packaging added support for Alpine wheels a few months ago (https://github.com/pypa/packaging/pull/411), and auditwheel support for the same just shipped today.
