Description

  • The adoption of Windows on ARM (WoA) devices is steadily increasing, yet many Python wheels are still not available for this platform.
  • GitHub Actions now offer native CI runners for Windows on ARM devices (windows-11-arm), enabling automated builds and testing.
  • Currently, official thinc Python wheels are not provided for Windows ARM64 and thus users/developers were facing difficulties using popular thinc library natively.

Closes: #955

Types of change

  • This PR introduces support for building Google's re2 wheels on Windows ARM64, improving accessibility for developers and end users on this emerging platform.
  • Currently, python 3.9 and 3.10 builds are skipped for Win-ARM64 since, these version of python binaries are not distributed in official download site.
  • Also added env for CIBW windows to use MSVC compiler for building wheels.
