released! https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20260310

s/o to @andiradulescu for getting the patches merged.

Update requires-python from >=3.12.3 to >=3.12.13 to match the CPython 3.12.13 release in python-build-standalone 20260310.

This build contains the time patch needed to work on comma devices with older glibc.

This isn't an ideal solution: any Python 3.12 is fine, we're just doing this to force a particular build for the uv-managed Python. Really what you want is two settings: "compatible Python versions" and "if using uv, install this one".

I'm fine with it though if there's no other way (provided there is a comment explaining this inline).

lot simpler!

Noooooo another top level file.... nothing we can add to the pyproject instead? (This is still better than what was there before)

the only other option noted there is to specify the python version when running uv. we could do that in setup.sh. thoughts?

Ok if those are really our full set of options, this is the most complete I think.
