It looks like we are finally able to build Linux ARM wheels locally and host them on our private PyPI! 🎉 In the checkout of our monorepo on an Nvidia Tegra (the wheel compiled beforehand coming from hosted PyPI):

Amazing! What would it take to get this formalized to public PyPI ?

hey Benjy, sorry for the late response. Do you mean uploading my locally built wheel to a public PyPI? If so, then this should be doable. I had to disable

"pants.backend.explorer"

backend in the

pants.toml

because it was blowing up with a complex traceback referring to not being able to import

typing_extensions

and something related to

GraphQL

. It works for us as we don’t any use for this feature, but I am not sure if this acceptable for a public PyPI package? 😕
