Follow-up to #1731, extending the CPython Limited API work to conda as @jakirkham asked. Follows the rmm rollout in rapidsai/rmm#2241, in the cudf shape (see below). xref rapidsai/build-planning#42.

Stacked on #1731 — based on that branch, so retarget to main once it merges. The conda package only becomes abi3 once wheel.py-api is set in python/cuopt/pyproject.toml.

Takes conda-python-build from 16 jobs to 4 (one per CUDA x arch).

Unlike rmm, cuOpt emits a single conda channel containing three python packages, so converting only cuopt would have saved nothing — the job would still run once per Python to produce the other two. All three therefore become version-independent, as cudf does:

  • cuoptversion_independent: true, cp<ver>_abi3 build string, built against the minimum supported Python
  • cuopt-server, cuopt-sh-clientnoarch: python; neither builds extension modules

Two recipe details worth a look:

  • python-gil is dropped from cuopt in favour of python =${{ py_abi_min }} + python-abi3 ${{ py_abi_min }}.*, matching cudf. The GIL constraint added in feat: add support for Python 3.14 #933 is preserved transitively: python-abi3_python_abi3_supportpython-gil.
  • cython in the recipe host is raised >=3.0.0>=3.2.2 to match dependencies.yaml; the Limited API build needs it.

build.sh applies the abi3 floor only to cuopt, since PYTHON_ARGS_FOR_INSTALL is shared with the two pure packages here.

Conda tests still run the full Python matrix against the single channel, which is what actually exercises the abi3 package.

Build one cuopt wheel per (CUDA major, arch) instead of one per Python
version, by targeting the CPython Limited API. This drops the cuopt wheel
build from 8 CI jobs to 2 and removes the need for a new build when a
Python version is added.

- python/cuopt: set wheel.py-api = cp311, matching requires-python
- bump cython to >=3.2.2,<3.3.0a0 for its Limited API support
- name the wheel artifact with 'rapids-artifact-name --stable' (abi3)
  on both the producing and consuming sides
- filter the wheel-build-cuopt matrix to the minimum supported Python

Wheel tests still run against the full Python matrix, now all installing
the single abi3 wheel.

Closes #1725

…tions

Surfaced while adding abi3 wheel support: the first attempt invented a
generic pip-arg passthrough instead of the '--stable' flag and
'RAPIDS_PY_API' env var that rmm and cudf already use, and would have
missed 'rapids-artifact-name --stable' entirely.

The cuopt wheel is now built as abi3, so CPython APIs outside the Limited
API fail to compile. Point contributors at the constraint next to the
existing Cython build note.

- add abi3audit to ci/validate_wheel.sh, matching cudf/rmm. The '*abi*'
  name filter skips the py3-none wheels, which abi3audit rejects for
  having DSOs with no ABI tag.
- group the cuopt wheel matrix by CUDA major rather than full CUDA
  version. Artifact names encode only the major, so two minors in one
  major would have produced two jobs racing on the same artifact name.
  No change to the current matrix.
- skills: cudf now lives in the NVIDIA org
- reword the Limited API note in CONTRIBUTING.md

Signed-off-by: Ramakrishna Prabhu <ramakrishnap@nvidia.com>
Tighten the abi3audit selection from '*abi*' to '*-abi3-*.whl', and fail
when 'python/cuopt' yields no abi3 wheel. Dropping 'wheel.py-api' would
otherwise skip the audit silently and leave CI green.

The check is scoped to 'python/cuopt' because libcuopt, cuopt_server and
cuopt_sh_client share this script and are all 'py3-none'.

Signed-off-by: Ramakrishna Prabhu <ramakrishnap@nvidia.com>
The wheel build matrix intentionally carries a single CUDA minor per
major, so grouping on the CUDA major added no coverage. Match the form
used in cudf and the other RAPIDS repos instead.

Drop the package-specific conditional so the set of packages sharing
this script can change without anyone remembering to update it.

The case it guarded is already caught: a cuopt wheel built without
'wheel.py-api' is tagged cp311-cp311, which fails to install in the
Python 3.12+ wheel-test jobs.

Signed-off-by: Ramakrishna Prabhu <ramakrishnap@nvidia.com>
Build one set of conda python packages per CUDA x arch instead of one
per Python version, taking conda-python-build from 16 jobs to 4.

All three python packages have to become version-independent for the
matrix filter to be safe, since they share a single output channel:

- cuopt: abi3 via 'version_independent: true', built against the
  minimum supported Python. 'python-gil' is dropped because
  'python-abi3' already depends on it transitively, and cython is
  raised to >=3.2.2 for its Limited API support.
- cuopt-server, cuopt-sh-client: 'noarch: python'. Neither builds
  extension modules.

build.sh passes the abi3 floor only for cuopt, so the two pure packages
keep using the plain install args.

Depends on #1731, which sets 'wheel.py-api' in python/cuopt.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR configures cuOpt and related packages for ABI3 or noarch Python builds. It updates stable artifact naming and downloads. CI matrices now select one minimum-Python build per CUDA and architecture combination.

Stable Python packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Python package contracts
conda/recipes/*/recipe.yaml
The cuOpt recipe defines ABI3 build variables, requirements, and Python 3.14 tests. Server and client recipes use noarch Python packages with Python 3.11 or newer.
Stable artifact flow
build.sh, ci/build_python.sh, ci/build_docs.sh, ci/test_notebooks.sh, ci/test_python.sh
The build adds stable ABI wheel arguments. Artifact naming and downloads use the stable CUDA-based variant.
CI matrix filtering
.github/workflows/build.yaml, .github/workflows/pr.yaml
Build matrices keep the minimum supported Python version for each CUDA version and architecture combination.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 13d74

The PR changes cuOpt server packages to noarch Python packages, but their conda metadata does not enforce the declared Python >=3.11 requirement; unsupported Python versions could therefore install the packages and fail at runtime. Merge should wait until the runtime constraints are added or explicitly accepted.
