Is the idea here that we'd take on a new dependency on the compiled `unicode-segmentation` binary, rather than adding Rust into our build system? Does `unicode-segmentation` support all platforms that CPython supports? I was under the impression that Rust requires llvm and llvm doesn't necessarily have the same support matrix as CPython (I'd love to be corrected if I'm wrong on this). (Note: I don't actually know what the process is for taking on new dependencies like this, just trying to point at one possible stumbling block.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue30717> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
