+Subject: [PATCH] impit-python/Cargo.toml: drop pyo3's auto-initialize feature
+
+pyo3-build-config's build script hard-errors when auto-initialize is
+enabled against a Python installation that only supports static
+embedding: 'The auto-initialize feature is enabled, but your python
+installation only supports embedding the Python interpreter
+statically.' manylinux_2_39_riscv64's bundled CPythons are built this
+way, so every interpreter leg fails at the pyo3 build step before
+compiling a single impit source file.
+
+auto-initialize only matters for embedding a Python interpreter in a
+Rust binary (or cargo test); impit-python builds a cdylib extension
+module loaded into an already-running interpreter, which never calls
+it, and pyo3-async-runtimes' own pyo3 dependency (version = "0.29",
+no features) does not request it either. Dropping the feature changes
+no runtime behaviour and clears the build error.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [manylinux_2_39_riscv64-specific: its CPython builds lack a shared libpython, unlike upstream's own maturin-action manylinux images, which build the same Cargo.toml with this feature enabled without issue]
