    I seem to recall when the switch was made it took me about a week to figure out how get it to work on OpenBSD, because the Rust build step failed there (for a reason I can’t remember now).

      Yeeap. My FreeBSD box has such pain with 'em. Because unfortunately *bsd is not in Python’s precompiled wheels. So one is almost building from the source.

      Now every time I pip install something there’s a high likelihood I’m going to end up having to install the rust tool chain and burn so much time on building libraries. I get why the project made the switch, but man does it hurt being downstream of it.
