How to package PY_LIMITED_API packages?

[Ahajha]

This might be a general conda or pypi question, but I'm interested in how to package compiled extensions which use PY_LIMITED_API.

In this case, I'd have a few options provided to me by rattler:

1. Use variants - This produces a package per Python version, which is not ideal.
2. Lie and say that it's noarch: python. This is a hack for certain, but I almost got this working. I don't think this is a good thing to do in production code though.
3. ?

I've tried a number of things, but nothing seems to fit this use case. It seems like packaging such extensions is rather rare?

Hi @Ahajha - yes, this is an actual problem and you've identified it perfectly. A ABI3 package is somewhere between a noarch and a arch package :)

There is some active work going on in form of a CEP here: conda/ceps#86
If you have time / energy to engage in that conversation we can hopefully move it forward quickly.

Thanks! I'm a bit new to the Python packaging scene, but if I can contribute to the conversation I will! For now, my contribution will be some extra emoji :)
