Comment:

We provide some meta packages for convenience.
To get a CPython flavour, use
conda install cpython
To get the freethreading build (i.e. without the Global Interpreter Lock - GIL)
conda install python-freethreading
To get the default build (i.e. with the GIL)
conda install python-gil
To enable the use of the experimental JIT compiler in CPython
conda install python-jit
or set the environment variable PYTHON_JIT=1. Note that the JIT support
is available for x86_64 builds only.
looks nice in the source code, but when rendered on anaconda.org, the whitespace is confusing (see below). It looked to me to be suggesting to install python-freethreading to get the build with the GIL, which was obviously incorrect, but I didn't read the structure properly until looking at the source code. It would be nice to reformat this to make it clear which command corresponds with which build.

This isn't a problem on https://prefix.dev/channels/conda-forge/packages/python-freethreading actually as the spacing is even, so it depends on the rendering. Still, may be a good idea to add some colons at least.
