So does each new PR start new tests that will supersede the previous PR’s tests? If one PR’s tests fail, does it block all PRs behind it in the queue? I’ve read docs several times and never found them very clear about the details.

My experience was on a Dell XPS 15 from ~2018, up to Ubuntu 20.04. Maybe they got better just when I switched to macOS. :)

Binary wheels are just archives, I don't see differences in the way they install between different systems. Source wheels that contain C/C++ code are so annoying to install on Windows that we don't use them. But most packages

We do it like this: - configure the project with pyproject.toml, - use pip-compile (from the pip-tools package) to create a lockfile, - commit the lockfile into git, - whenever we want to update the dependencies, do it through pip-compile a
