We're proud to announce the birth of a bouncing baby... package!
xbuild (Cross Build) is a PEP517 frontend focussed on managing cross-build environments - environments where you can't run the compiler on the platform you're targeting (such as iOS, Android and Emscripten).
It includes xvenv - a tool for converting a virtual environment into a cross-platform virtual environment.
It's currently pre-alpha, but xvenv can already convince pip to install packages.
