Unable to install confluent-kafka package in python3.13

[kumaranvpl]

Description

I have tried to install confluent-kafka using the command pip install confluent-kafka with python version 3.13.0rc1. The installation fails with the following error:

In file included from /tmp/pip-install-8_h31mun/confluent-kafka_4106eda5da574398b605fda22ad32b9d/src/confluent_kafka/src/Admin.c:17:
      /tmp/pip-install-8_h31mun/confluent-kafka_4106eda5da574398b605fda22ad32b9d/src/confluent_kafka/src/confluent_kafka.h:23:10: fatal error: librdkafka/rdkafka.h: No such file or directory

Python version 3.13.0rc1 is the penultimate preview release of python 3.13, with the stable version scheduled for release on October 1st, 2024, which is roughly 40 days from now. So, please add support for python 3.13 version. For more info regarding the release of the stable version of python 3.13, please checkout https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130rc1/

How to reproduce

1. Install python3.13
2. Create and activate venv
3. Try to install confluent-kafka using the command pip install confluent-kafka.

We don't provide Python 3.13 wheels so the installation will fallback to installation from source distribution. The source distribution expects librdkafka to be present which is not present in your case and hence facing this issue. Please refer this wiki for the installation in your case.

Published v2.6.0 with Python 3.13 wheels. Closing this issue. Please raise a new issue if you face any problem.
