Hey folks,
I wanted to share PEP 774: Removing the LLVM requirement for JIT builds.
The purpose of this PEP is to decide whether continuing to have a build-time dependency on LLVM for JIT builds is acceptable. The proposed path forward for removing this dependency is to host the pre-generated stencil files in python/cpython for non-debug builds for Tier 1 platforms (though many alternative approaches were considered).
Of course, any feedback is welcomed! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns not addressed in the PEP, and I’ll be happy to incorporate.
