Build missing packages for Python 3.9 - 3.12

[IsakTheHacker]

Python 3.11 has been supported for about a year now but no packages are built targeting this Python version. WHY!?

[IsakTheHacker]

Better support for Python 3.11 would probably also make apps faster on average and improve the startup time according to this: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.11.html#optimizations

[mhsmith]

Yes, we should look into this. I'll add it to the milestone for the next version, when we'll be adding Python 3.12 as well.

[mhsmith]

The following packages are now available for Python 3.11:

murmurhash cffi pillow regex pynacl zstandard aiohttp bcrypt brotli cymem cytoolz frozenlist greenlet multidict ruamel-yaml-clib srsly yarl numpy pandas pywavelets kiwisolver contourpy matplotlib argon2-cffi bitarray editdistance ephem lru-dict pyzbar typed-ast netifaces wordcloud pycurl preshed

This is the same list as we released last year for Python 3.9 and 3.10, minus:

• twisted – is now a pure-Python package.
• pycrypto pysha3 backports-zoneinfo – have all been declared obsolete.
• cryptography – we're currently stuck on version 3.4.8 until we have Rust support (#657), and that version isn't compatible with OpenSSL 3. I came up with an awkward workaround to build it for Python 3.9 and 3.10, but rather than do that again, my time would be better spent dealing with the Rust issue.

I'll add more Python 3.9 - 3.11 packages later, but first I'll look at 3.12.

[mhsmith]

The same packages are now available for Python 3.12, minus:

• wordcloud – doesn't support Python 3.12 yet.

[mhsmith]

I've also added the following combinations which didn't previously exist:

• grpcio for Python 3.9 - 3.12
• scikit-image for Python 3.9 - 3.10
• scikit-learn for Python 3.10

@mhsmith can pycryptodome be added?

[mhsmith]

OK, pycryptodome and pycryptodomex version 3.9.4 have now been added for Python 3.9 - 3.12. This is the newest version that can build with the current patch. If anyone needs a newer version, see #807.

[IsakTheHacker]

@mhsmith Could you build Python 3.11 and 3.12 wheels for miniaudio?

[mhsmith]

OK, I'll give it a try. And for future reference, here's a list of all the packages which were added since the initial 3.9 and 3.10 build:

jpegio tgcrypto lameenc pyproj astropy pyerfa qutip photutils miniaudio lz4 soxr aubio pycocotools zope-interface

Most of these are currently only available for Python 3.8 - 3.10.

[mhsmith]

The packages in the previous comment have now been added for Python 3.11 and 3.12, except:

• qutip and photutils – these depend on SciPy, so they previously only supported Python 3.8. I've now extended that to Python 3.9 and 3.10, but not 3.11 or later (#1237).

[samefow]

Please add lxml package for python 3.9-3.12. Thanks.

[mhsmith]

I don't have time to add any more packages at the moment, but lxml shouldn't be too difficult to build yourself – see #816 (comment).

[mhsmith]

If anyone has more package requests for Python 3.9 or later, please first search to see if there's an existing issue you can vote for, and create a new issue if you can't find one.
