https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone is by the same people as uv, so it's hardly random. The releases there include ones with profile-guided optimisation and link time optimisation [1], which are used by default for some platforms and Python versions (and work seems underway to make them usable for all [2]). I don't see any recommendation against using their binaries or mention of optimising for portability at the cost of performance on the page you link or the pages linked from it that I've looked at.

- meitham 2y agoThis must have moved recently! I looked at this around end of December and it was hosted on https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases which had nothing to do with UV. If you read through the docs now it still references indygreg and still shows this https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone so I guess the move has not completed it, but yes it's a positive change to see UV taking ownership of the builds.
