Python 3.11 support
Description
Need to investigate changes necessary to support Python 3.11.
Tasks
-
[ ] distutils is deprecated in stdlib
-
[x] Get Python 3.11 build (even if alpha) to test conda and conda-build (@chenghlee?) channel py311_bs
-
[ ] Review 3.11 release notes to see if other (packaging) related changes are expected
-
[ ] Add 3.11 to test matrixes (e.g. conda: https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/11481)
@chenghlee Can you ask the packaging team to look into whether we can/should build a Python 3.11 early release package to a separate channel (conda-canary?) to try this out? We could set up the CI system to use the channel while it hasn't officially been released yet to be part of defaults.
if the package is released as a beta version, it won't be selected for installation unless explicitly requested, so per that understanding, it shouldn't be problematic to release to main
either? making the beta releases generally available should help other packages with their testing too
Depends on conda/conda#11170
Python 3.11 support will be available in conda-build 3.25.0 release.
