Why maturin develop doesn't support -i?

[thePromger]

In ci, i need to do some tests for that i need it to be installed as editable project which i achieved using this cmd.

maturin develop --release

but i need to use --target for apple devices(maybe in future we need it for windows too) like this

maturin develop --release --target universal2-apple-darwin

now, when using with target, i got this warning as shown in image in first command, then i tried giving it
-i to pass python version, but i think that's not supported

[thePromger]

Also, how to pass python interpreter in -i of same one I am using in virtual env?
Some automatic way, manually it's not problem but when using ci or nox then it's a problem

maturin devleop is designed to work within a virtualenv, so it compiles for the native target (i.e. --target should not be used) and the venv python, no -i option, just activate your venv.

Then how to build a wheel of release profile with using target as universal2-apple-darwin + to be installed as editable
Coz I need to do test it in GitHub actions

I find that maturin pep517 doesn't support target

[messense]

There is no point in testing editable install of universal2 target, just test with the native target, universal2 only adds an indirection (i.e only load the native binary from the fat macho), so testing x86_64 and aarch64 separately is good enough.

@messense
i just find out about maturin pep517 help section and find all the options

but is it possible to use --target universal2-apple-darwin from uv
i find this issue having something: #2314

i find how to pass build_args from uv to maturin, its cmd like this from above issue:

uv run --config-setting 'build-args=--profile=dev' myscript

but it didnt worked for me, at all

[messense]

no, pep517 always use the native target.

[thePromger]

ops, my bad
uv is using older version of maturin defined in pyproject.toml file, now passing config-settings works fine

[thePromger]

no, pep517 always use the native target.

I think it worked, what about this one?

[thePromger]

@messense
Is there any solution to build a wheel with target+release/debug profile+editable mode?

pep517 also don't support target when i manually ran maturin instead of uv?
