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.
@MustafaGeo Conda as a base isn’t an option (yet), so it’s a moot point; but we won’t adopt anything unless licensing terms are compatible with what is possible today. However, I’m expecting it will be more of a “conda as a package source” than needing to integrate conda itself.
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!
If there’s a package you want for Android, open a ticket on the Chaquopy repository: github.com/chaquo/chaquop… for iOS packages, open a ticket here: github.com/freakboy3742/c… These are temporary homes; we want to move to a “forge”-style community-managed model in the near future.
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!
@hynek@MustafaGeo Yeah - it’s a different use case. Briefcase is focussed on the “Desktop GUI app” use case, which also maps well to “Mobile app”; packaging a command-line tool has a very different set of requirements (not the least of which is “a single (binary) artefact”).
@heliodsn On mobile, the situation hasn’t changed that much; we’re expecting to start looking at “large scale navigation” widgets towards the end of this year. For now, the best option is to manually swap the top-level container widget in code. Not ideal, but it works.
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.
