pydantic-core on termux

anyone having issue with python project development on termux? whether using vanilla pip, uv or poetry. everytime i add spotdl as dependency, it needs to compile pydantic-core. worse things happened with uv and poetry. everytime i run main.py, they both recompile pydantic-core and it took like 20 mins. does this related to the python version? i also read on several github issues about python on termux, most libraries aren't compatible with bionic libc or something
Solution
The development workflow I would recommend for Python in Termux is currently this:
1. Install 
python-pip
 and any other 
python-*
 dependencies that you need that are available from 
pkg
 in Termux
2. after that, do not use a virtualenv. Instead, use 
pip install
 unsandboxed directly to install any remaining PyPi dependencies you need that are not available from 
pkg
, and just wait a long time, if you see an error, open a report about it.
3. 
uv
 has problems currently with Termux, there are several issues about this including an upstream issue, avoid it in favor of 
pip
 instead
4. just keep this state saved in your Termux while you do Python development, if you don't want to wait 20 minutes every time you use a new device, you can use 
termux-backup
 and 
termux-restore
 to transfer your Termux content to another device. This will only work if both devices are 32-bit ARM, or both devices are 64-bit ARM. If you need to transfer to another device that is a different architecture, then you have to do all your setup commands again and wait, there is no alternative
