📦 Build wheels using limited Python API

[webknjaz]

SUMMARY

SSIA.

ISSUE TYPE

• Maintenance Pull Request
• Packaging Pull Request

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If this works, it has a potential of allowing us to ship fewer wheels while supporting unreleased/future Pythons.

[packit-as-a-service]

Congratulations! One of the builds has completed. 🍾

You can install the built RPMs by following these steps:

• sudo dnf install -y 'dnf*-command(copr)'
• dnf copr enable packit/ansible-pylibssh-819
• And now you can install the packages.

Please note that the RPMs should be used only in a testing environment.
