Research direction

Start by reproducing the pip install tree-sitter-languages failure under GraalPy and inspect the package's binary-distribution assumptions. Review the linked .github/workflows/release.yml to understand which platforms and runtimes are built. Done means the supported GraalPy installation path is established or the release workflow change is clearly specified and verified.

Description

pip install tree-sitter-languages

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tree-sitter-languages (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tree-sitter-languages

It's a binary only package that doesn't support source installs, maybe that's the cause? How does one compile such a thing for GraalPy? Perhaps there's a need to update their CI file to also build with GraalPy on each platform but I'm not sure how to do that.
