🧵🛞 I made a thing!

hugovk.github.io/free-threaded tracks how many of the top 360 PyPI packages have free-threaded wheels.

🟢 Green packages (currently 3%) offer has free-threaded wheels

⚪ Uncoloured packages (82%) offer pure-Python wheels

🟠 Orange packages (16%) have no wheels ready for free-threading (yet!)

See also Quansight Labs' py-free-threading.github.io/tr for a smaller yet fine-grained tracker that also includes build tools.

I wrote a little guide on how you can help test out the beta in your project, and help us find bugs in CPython:
