Static Wheels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cryptography ships statically-linked wheels for macOS and Windows, ensuring
that these platforms can always use the most-recent OpenSSL, regardless of what
is shipped by default on those platforms. As a result of various difficulties
around Linux binary linking, Cryptography cannot do the same on Linux.
Cryptography ships statically-linked wheels for macOS, Windows, and Linux (via
``manylinux1``). This allows compatible environments to use the most recent
OpenSSL, regardless of what is shipped by default on those platforms. Some
Linux distributions (most notably Alpine) are not ``manylinux1`` compatible so
we cannot distribute wheels for them.
However, you can build your own statically-linked wheels that will work on your
own systems. This will allow you to continue to use relatively old Linux
