The provided whl files for polars library are tagged as abi3. I am working with specific setup that needs ABI tag to be cp39. I tried unpacking and packing again while changing the tag but still not working. Can someone help with this ? Desired ABI tag: cp39 Current ABI tag: abi3

Context for future readers: The ABI (Application Binary Interface) tag indicates which Python ABI is required by any included extension modules, you can find more information about the tags in https://packaging.python./en/latest/specifications/platform-compatibility-tags/

Polars uses the CPython stable ABI (abi3), if your setup does not supports it, you are better off compiling it yourself targeting the ABI it supports than trying to modify existing wheels.

However, first make sure you are not mixing up the {python tag} and the {abitag} components - the polars wheels released on pypi are already using the cp39 python tag.
