Description
TL;DR
We plan to gradually add support for more Python packages to GraalPy.
Goals
To allow as many Python developers as possible to take advantage of the performance improvements and other features that GraalPy can provide, we are working to further increase its compatibility and thus the number of packages that run on GraalPy. Some current incompatibilities are simply due to missing features in GraalPy, but there are also packages that provide interpreter-specific functionality, which will require upstream changes. In general, we focus on the most popular Python package and welcome feedback from the Python community that helps identify and unlock new use cases for GraalPy.
Non-Goals
- Regress support for already supported packages.
- Add support for all PyPI packages or packages that require Python 2 or other older Python versions not supported by GraalPy.
