> Cross-compiling will become possible. For years we've told people "sorry, distutils wasn't really made for cross-compiling, let us know if you have any luck". As a result we've completely ignored users on some exotic platforms, and also spent a lot of time fighting with different CI systems to do native builds. As a user (not a developer) of SciPy, this is the big win. My "exotic platform" is embedded Linux distributions via Buildroot[1]. This opens the door to many downstream libraries becoming available as well, such as pandas and scikit-learn. [1]: https://buildroot.org/ https://buildroot.org/
