Compatibility status tracking
This page tracks the status of packages for which we're aware of active work on free-threaded support. It contains packages with extension modules, as well as build tools and packages that needed code specifically to support free-threading. Note that pure Python code works without changes by design, hence this page does not aim to track pure Python packages.
Tip
It's early days for free-threaded support - bugs in CPython itself and in
widely used libraries with extension modules are being fixed every week.
It may be useful to use nightly wheels (when available) of packages
like cython
or numpy
, even if a first release is available on PyPI.
For example, you can install a NumPy nightly wheel by running:
pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/simple numpy
