RustPython binaries require the Lib directory (Python standard library) to run, but it was missing from release artifacts.

Changes

  • Add repository checkout to release job to access Lib directory
  • Create compressed zip archive of Lib directory (~8.8MB) for cross-platform compatibility
  • Archive automatically included in release assets via existing bin/rustpython-release-* glob pattern
  • Add custom release notes explaining users must download both the binary and Lib archive, with instructions on how to extract and use them

Result

Users can now download pre-built binaries with the required standard library instead of cloning the repository or manually configuring RUSTPYTHONPATH. Each release will include prominent instructions at the top of the release notes explaining the need to download both artifacts.

Added release notes in commit 5e8e0b1. The notes will appear at the top of each release informing users they need to download both the binary and the Lib archive, with instructions on how to use them.

Let's only provide .zip. It is hard to imagine any environment without unzip with rustpython

Removed tar.gz archive in commit c6b3284. Now only creating rustpython-lib.zip for releases. Updated release notes accordingly.
