Add Windows ARM64 wheels to the release pipeline #2082
Description
Activity
Finn Womack (@finnagin) do you know if ARM64 is possible now? I believe this wasn't enabled yet because the builds were failing but I could be remembering wrong.
Rich Chiodo (@rchiodo) it's definitely possible. I think before it needed to be cross-compiled as there were not arm64 runners available in AzDo but idk if that is still the case and even if it was, it's not a blocker we would just need to do a little extra work to update the build script to allow cross-compilation for arm64 builds.
Okay I'm going to look into getting this working.
Looks like they still are not available so it would just need to be cross compiled.
Also, iirc it may have been attach to process that was broken in arm64. But that was the only part I think.
I thought we fixed that. Maybe just for Mac.
Hi Rich Chiodo (@rchiodo), thank you very much for your help. Please let me know if there’s any progress. Thanks.
Hey Chao Zhang (@chinazhangchao), we've now merged #2083 which enables us to build arm64 wheels. We still need to update the internal pipelines now that this is in main but I wanted to update you on the progress.

Amazing progress! Thanks for the info.
Hi Rich Chiodo (@rchiodo) , I'm from Microsoft and recently I'm working on improving Python ecosystem support for Windows on Arm. I want to add support for Windows ARM64 builds and tests of debugpy, but I find that wheel building, signing, and publishing happen in separate internal pipelines (
debugpy/azure-pipelines/pipelines.yaml
Line 2 in e77356e
Could you please help to support this?
Feature request
Please add native Windows ARM64 (
win_arm64) wheels to debugpy’s existing build, signing, and PyPI release pipeline, for supported CPython versions that provide Windows ARM64 builds.This would let users running native ARM64 Python on Windows install a prebuilt package without compiling debugpy locally or switching to x64 Python under emulation.
Current repository configuration
A few places appear to need attention:
azure-pipelines/pipelines.yamlnotes that wheel building, signing, and publishing happen in separate internal pipelines, so the release build matrix is not available in this repository.setup.pyonly retains Windows native binaries for thewin32andwin-amd64platforms; ARM64 packaging would need to be included.Desired outcome
win_arm64wheels through the existing release process.
