First Challenge Coin of the #DjangoCon Sprints - @hops_and_smoke!
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.

That's a feature that we *did* support once upon a time, but we haven't paid much attention to recently. Our intention is to support it again eventually; but it's not a high priority right now. If you want to see what it *did* look like, see youtube.com/watch?v=xezYYBL7…
More macOS progress: Briefcase can now create Universal2 binaries for macOS! PyPI support for universal2 is still a work in progress, but Toga (and other pure Python libraries) work great! An official release containing this update will be landing soon.
There's a metaphor here for Open Source...

6 years ago today, @freakboy3742 announced the release of Toga, during the PyCon AU 2014 lightning talks. youtu.be/W0W0s0-Ryc0?t=789
We've come a long way - back then, Android was a wishlist item. Today, it's officially supported. Can't wait to see what the next 6 years holds.

There's a whole family! I'd offer to bring you some to the next conference we're both at... but... <sobs>
