Hi all,
(I’m not sure where PEP 703 discussion is happening now that several of the major threads here have been locked by the moderators, so apologies if I should post this somewhere else.)
We at Anaconda have been watching the nogil work with great interest for some time. After some internal discussion, I wanted to announce that we are able to commit Anaconda engineer time toward the packaging challenges that will be associated with adopting PEP 703, including any work on pip, cibuildwheel, and conda-forge that will be needed to get nogil-compatible packages into the hands of the Python community. We can coordinate with the PyPA folks to see where we can be most useful if the PEP moves forward.
