This repo has been deprecated in favor of https://github.com/allyourcodebase/cpython
This is a fork of CPython, packaged for Zig.
Unnecessary files have been deleted, and the build system has been replaced
with build.zig. There are no system dependencies; the only thing required to
build this package is Zig.
This builds a static executable, which can be then executed like this:
PYTHONPATH=Lib zig-out/bin/cpython
My personal use case is to run the latest ytdlp releases. This package is capable of doing that, however, there may be missing features beyond what is required for this use case, such as missing C modules.
I have tested on x86_64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-musl but not any other targets yet. Probably, other targets will need some work before they are additionally supported.
Contributions to broaden the support status are welcome.
