I had an amazing experience working on FOSS projects in the sprints.
I made my first-ever contribution to @PyBeeWare in briefcase & briefcase-template repo, and got this coin with a handshake from @freakboy3742
Python 3.11 was released today - and BeeWare is proud to announce that Briefcase support for Python 3.11 on macOS, iOS and Linux has been published as well! Android support will be coming early next week.
Another new bee in the hive - Malcolm Smith! github.com/mhsmith Malcolm brings his considerable experience maintaining @chaquopy, which has been invaluable in improving BeeWare’s Android support. We’re incredibly excited to have him on the team!
Welcome a new bee to the hive - Russell Martin! github.com/rmartin16 Russell has been making huge contributions to Briefcase over the last few months. We’re incredibly excited to have him on the team!
Do you want to use numpy, cryptography, or another third-party binary module in your iOS or Android project? Now you can! Briefcase v0.3.10 has just been released, with support for binary third-party modules on mobile platforms!
If there’s a package you want for Android, open a ticket on the Chaquopy repository: github.com/chaquo/chaquopy/i… for iOS packages, open a ticket here: github.com/freakboy3742/chaq… These are temporary homes; we want to move to a “forge”-style community-managed model in the near future.
It may not look like much - but this is a test suite running CPython on iOS… that is loading it’s standard library from binary modules. There’s still some things to sort out, but binary extension module support for iOS is getting *really* close.
