-Static Linking of ``libX11`` / Incompatibility with PyQt on Linux
-=================================================================
-
-The ``_tkinter`` Python extension module in the Python standard library
-statically links against ``libX11``, ``libxcb``, and ``libXau`` on Linux.
-In addition, the ``_tkinter`` extension module is statically linked into
-``libpython`` and isn't a standalone shared library file. This effectively
-means that all these X11 libraries are statically linked into the main
-Python interpreter.
-
-On typical builds of Python on Linux, ``_tkinter`` will link against
-external shared libraries. e.g.::

-The static linking of ``libX11`` and other libraries can cause problems when
-3rd party Python extension modules also loading similar libraries are also
-loaded into the process. For example, extension modules associated with ``PyQt``
-are known to link against a shared ``libX11.so.6``. If multiple versions of
-``libX11`` are loaded into the same process, run-time crashes / segfaults can
-occur. See e.g. https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/issues/95.
-
-The conceptual workaround is to not statically link ``libX11`` and similar
-libraries into ``libpython``. However, this requires re-linking a custom
-``libpython`` without ``_tkinter``. It is possible to do this with the object
-files included in the distributions. But there isn't a turnkey way to do this.
-And you can't easily remove ``_tkinter`` and its symbols from the pre-built
-and ready-to-use Python install included in this project's distribution
-artifacts.
