I’m not discounting the pains that some people are going through because of this change, but this response [1] in the issue says

> The new Rust code adds exactly 0 (zero) runtime packages to Cryptography. Rust, Cargo, pyo3, its dependencies, and setuptools_rust are build-time dependencies only.

Aren’t there tools available to build this on a supported platform and integrate the binaries in the systems in use? It is a bit convoluted, but seems like a solution at least for some (?) cases at additional cost.

Unfortunately no, python cannot distribute pre-compiled dependencies for Alpine Linux yet.
