	tl;dr: CPython now officially supports RISC-V as a tier 3 platform (per PEP 11), backed by community contributions and ongoing testing on real hardware provided by the RISE Project. Next steps include integrating RISC-V into CPython's CI for faster feedback, pushing toward tier 2 support, and exploring architecture-specific performance optimizations. Users with RISC-V hardware are encouraged to build, test, and report issues.
	HN Discussion: ↑Curiosity about which RISC-V extensions are supported and potential for performance optimization •Porting CPython to RISC-V should be straightforward since it's written in C ~Tier 3 support is significant but still comes with meaningful caveats •Python's tier structure is outdated and should demote i686 Windows in favor of modern targets •Questions about JIT performance and testing on RISC-V hardware
