PyPI (pip)

Motivation

pip is widely used on any system with Python to install Python-based packages to the system. Any software developer using python on Windows on Arm would likely want support for pip so that they can configure their system with the desired software.

Status

Fully supported since https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/tag/0.5.25

Development Documentation

Documentation on compiling, testing, and developing found at: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/

The automated test suite runs without issues on Windows on Arm.

Notes on enablement

Supporting pip natively required native arm64 wheels for cryptography, which is a dependency of pip.
