For those that didn’t see [my talk at the core dev sprints on the topic](https://opensource.snarky.ca/Talks/2025/Core+Dev+Sprints/Pre-built+binaries), my next big project is getting prebuilt binaries on to [python.org](http://python.org) for all the tier 1 platforms. I got [GitHub - python/prebuilt-cpython: Repository for discussing/planning prebuilt binaries of CPython](https://github.com/python/prebuilt-cpython) created so we have a place to coordinate work as there’s enough prior art from other folks and I’m going to need help. 😅 And because [Ned said to](https://github.com/python/prebuilt-cpython/discussions/1#discussioncomment-14713984), I’m explicitly mentioning the folks who do releases: @nad , @steve.dower (although he already produces prebuilt binaries), @hugovk (in case we get this done for 3.15), @savannahostrowski (because I better get this done by 3.17), and @ambv (because [Python 3.15 alpha 1](https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-15-alpha-1/104358) said I should). ---

I didn’t see your talk and the linked article doesn’t clarify much, can you summarize what the project is about? ---

The first link contains the slides that Brett presented at core dev sprint. The idea is to make prebuilt binaries available to the community as a convenient alternative to building and installing Python from source code. ---

That’s it. If you look at the content between the dark lines, that is the individual pages. ---

Carol’s right about the rendering. You can also read the README on the repo I linked to for an idea of what the project is about. ---

thanks! I was very confused since I thought maybe the website was broken, I’ll be reaching out!
