Issue

When using v1 recipe format I can make a Python version independent package, however I still get a Python build matrix unless I am explicitly adding a skip.

  python:
    version_independent: true
  skip:
    - not is_python_min

For the package I am building Python is a true build dependency, no host or run dependency and I want to straight-forwardly opt out from the Python build matrix. Is there a better way than declaring the package as Python version independent and skipping all but the minimal Python version?

You can do - python * to avoid the matrix.

Thanks, is this somewhere in the knowledge base already? I didn't find any hints on how to handle this case.
