Scikit-build-core 1.0, the culmination of a four year project to build the best compiled code backend for Python, is out. It’s a huge release, with over 90 bugs fixed, over 40 new features, accounting for over a hundred closed issues. This is the completion of my original vision, and I’m really happy with it. I’d like to show off some of the new features, and also discuss some of the last four months of development that made this possible. This is all in time for SIMPLE-Py, the workshop I’m hosting next week over Python packaging alongside SciPy 2026.
