Also, +because the free-threaded build is ABI-incompatible, extension modules need to +be separate, free-threaded wheels and declare support for it. + +The PyYAML maintainers decided to not port PyYAML to the free-threaded build +before the latter, along with Cython support for it, has been tested more +extensively in real-world applications. Our rationale with this fork is to +implement support for the free-threaded build, so that PyYAML can be tested with +it by its users, even before the port is merged upstream. |
