Build failure on CPython `3.13t` (disabled GIL): would build wheel with unsupported tag
CPython 3.13 has added the --disable-gil build option for disabling the global interpreter lock. This introduces some ABI changes and therefore adds the t (threading) ABI flag until those changes become the default in upcoming CPython releases.
This ABI flag unfortunately breaks building pycryptodome wheels in this kind of environment.

$ python3.13 -c 'import sys;print(f"{sys.version_info=}\n{sys.abiflags=}")'
sys.version_info=sys.version_info(major=3, minor=13, micro=0, releaselevel='beta', serial=2)
sys.abiflags='t'
AssertionError: would build wheel with unsupported tag ('cp35', 'abi3', 'linux_x86_64')
The issue appears to be the py-limited-api bdist_wheel configuration:

- https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/0.43.0/src/wheel/bdist_wheel.py#L218

Maybe this issue should be reported at setuptools/wheel/... so multiple abi levels can be build (e.g. cp35 for GIL enabled Python versions and cp313t (?) for GIL disabled Python).
Please have a look at this comment on the setuptools issue tracker (bdist_wheel has been vendored into setuptools - wheel won't patch its current implementation) and make a suggestion in regards to having a config option for building different kinds of wheels:
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/4420#issuecomment-2172946806
The maintainers of setuptools are asking for feedback on how to solve building extensions with py_limited_api=True being set when using a no-GIL environment. Please see here, thank you:
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/4424
Thanks for flagging. Master now builds correctly with 3.13-nogil, because py-limited-api is set dynamically and disabled for 3.13-nogil (even if I think support for multiple ABI levels should be sorted out before 3.14).
