If you remove the bash shell selection and the msvc setup, it should "just work" (fingers crossed).

The downside to making a normal module instead is that then you have to build one wheel per python version, while the ctypes version doesn't care about what Python version...

Can’t describe fully ATM, but lookup hatchling, it’s designed after that. It’s only the top level package, subpackages (and data files) should be included automatically. I don’t remember if `wheel.exclude`...

I believe it's due to https://github.com/planetmarshall/pillow-jpls/blob/7c98ed7c282c75faed03f7bc9c53fab5089a94f5/.github/workflows/build_deploy.yml#L10-L12 GHA doesn't activate MSVC inside the bash shell automatically, so you have to do it manually if you really want that shell (there are...
