I can't find a 32-bit version of Python for Linux in the last few releases, such as cpython-3.13.0-linux-x86-gnu. Has support for 32-bit versions been discontinued?
I'm not sure how significant my interest is (I guess it's not :( ) but leaving a message here.
I wonder if there is an easy way (in a few commands) for those of us who need it just to build it ourselves... I've been building Python before myself from source tarballs and it was anything but easy and pleasant.

These were last published in https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20230826 (under the i686 name) and removed in https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20231002 due to lack of downloads.

We removed build support too in #626, but we could consider restoring that.

Note that 32-bit x86 on Linux (e.g.
i686-unknown-linux-gnu) is not a supported by CPython at any tier level at this time. There is no guarantee that CPython will built without patching on the platform.
