This repository hosts prebuilt versions of Python that are used for the !eval functionality of python-discord/bot.

Built images contain a folder /snekbin/ which contains the built Python interpreter.

The subdirectory that contains the interpreter varies by the requested version, for example, Python 3.14j will have a binary at /snekbin/python/3.14j/bin/python.

To add new versions to the build matrix, edit the versions.toml file to include the desired versions. The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically build and push the new versions when changes are merged to the main branch.

Additionally, new patch versions are automatically built as part of the cron job that runs daily. As long as pyenv is updated upstream with the new patch versions, they will be picked up and built without any manual intervention.

Some Python versions have suffixes, these are specified as follows:

A manual build can be triggered by going to the "Actions" tab and selecting the "Build Python Interpreters" workflow. From there, click the "Run workflow" button.

Built images are pushed to the GitHub Container Registry at ghcr.io/python-discord/python-builds. The images are tagged with the Python version they contain, e.g., 3.10.8 as well as the short tag, e.g., 3.10.
