Description
The initial problem is described here. The current issue is that a piper import issue has caused the fix to be removed, meaning that the problem has been reintroduced. The import issue is discussed further here. This issue is opened to track the reintroduction of the fix.
Perhaps part of the issue is that there wasn't an associated test added to verify that only a limited subset of all the available symbols were exposed in the resulting dylib. I'm not sure how/if this is possible in the current wheel building pipeline.
