114- Windows Static Distributions are Extremely Brittle
115- ==================================================
116-
117- This project produces statically linked CPython distributions for Windows.
118-
119- Building these distributions requires extensive patching of CPython's build
120- system. There are many aspects of CPython, the standard library, and 3rd party
121- libraries that make assumptions that things will be built as dynamic libraries
122- and break in these static builds.
123-
124- Here is a list of known problems:
125-
126- * Most Windows extension modules link against ``pythonXY.dll `` (e.g.
127- ``python39.dll ``) or ``python3.dll `` and will fail to load on the static
128- distributions. Extension modules will need to be explicitly recompiled
129- against the static distribution.
130- * There is no supported *platform tag * for Windows static distributions and
131- therefore there is no supported way to distribute binary wheels targeting
132- the Python static distributions.
133- * Aspects of OpenSSL (and therefore Python's ``ssl `` module) don't work when
134- OpenSSL is compiled/linked statically. You will get opaque run-time errors.
135-
136- It is **highly ** recommended to extensively test your application against the
137- static Windows distributions to ensure it works.
