Can't pip install curl_cffi - Getting Unsupported arch error (i686 musl build) - Support for the iSH iOS app

[plia7]

Hello,

I have iSH version 1.3.2 (Alpine Linux x86 emulator) on my iPhone along with python and pip installed in it.
Which I used to install the g4f python package - The official gpt4free repository | various collection of powerful language models.
They recently upgraded to version 0.3.2.1 and it appears to use the curl_cffi python package.

I tried to install it in this order:

apk add gcc musl-dev libffi-dev libcurl libcurl-dev
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install curl_cffi

When I try to install it, I get an error:

pip install curl_cffi

Which error is basically this:
Exception: Unsupported arch: uname_result(system='Linux', node='iPhone', release='4.20.69-ish', version='SUPER AWESOME May 20 2023 23:41:32', machine='i686')

I also tried to set export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i686" before installing it and trying to install an older version pip install curl_cffi==0.6.4
but I still get the same error.

So I can't run g4f anymore in the latest version.
Is there a way to install curl_cffi python package without getting this error in iSH?

Thanks.

There is no i686 musl build of curl-impersonate for Linux. I will try to add that in the future.

Do you have an ETA when and how much time it would take to add it (level of effort)?
Thank you.

There is no ETA for this, I tried to cross compile for x86-linux-musl on CI, but no luck.
