summary
Proposal from Nov 17, 2025 narrows to optional Rust extensions for CPython, implemented as a CPython fork with a proof‑of‑concept Rust module built via Cargo integration that falls back if Cargo is absent and runs CI across all CPython platforms. Work targets build‑std and GCC cross‑support, sanitizer support, and a solution for providing interpreter context to Rust drops. A Rust reimplementation of the optional zlib module is underway with the goal of shipping in Python 3.16.
