it's only slightly worse than it was in 2010 but it's a living proof that investing millions of dollars and untold number of hours into trying to make something better can make no positive difference at all

this is such a baffling, unexpected design choice coupled with completely unaccepable documentation choices https://go.dev/play/p/lL9qtinh8Qh

so apparently with StrictDomainName=false (which is only documented to accept `_` and some other unspecified characters), Go's IDNA library happily accepts `*.foo.bar` as a valid domain name

what.

@xgranade can you get pdm to make a venv for you and then just ship the venv? if you set the right environment variable you can totally ignore the bin/python symlink

then clean it up once it builds as a wheel

@xgranade can you build calibre as a wheel?
