The new best-practices way of building a python package looks like this:
python -m build
to generate wheelsauditwheel repair
to verify that those wheels are conformant to symbol versioning standards and are tagged correctlyTo this end, I was able to simplify the python bindings build substantially. This involved making some upstream changes to auditwheel, which is generally not very happy about auditing cross builds, but it was done and my PR is pending. The "most best-practices" way of doing cross builds is to use a full container image for the target architecture and using binfmt_misc + qemu-user to perform the build and audit, but I don't think this is possible on azure.
