Publish vaex 4.18.1 on pypi.org

[ecederstrand]

I see that the latest version of vaex on pypi.org is 4.17.0. Could you upload packages for 4.18.1 as well, please?

Hi @ecederstrand 👋

tl;dr release is blocked by https://github.com/vaexio/vaex/pull/2449

vaex-core 4.18.1 was released to PyPI with python 3.12 support but was yanked because of windows:

see https://github.com/vaexio/vaex/pull/2331#issuecomment-2837461257 for details on the delay for vaex, vaex-ml, etc packages.

Thanks! I installed vaex-core==4.18.1 in my venv but reverted again because the vaex from pypi.org has a dependency on vaex-core~=4.17.1. But maybe they are safe to use together anyway?

[ddelange]

no they are not, 4.18.1 contains multiple incompatibilities, see https://github.com/vaexio/vaex/pull/2331

the versions of vaex, vaex-ml etc all still need bumping pending numpy v2 support to fix the windows segfault in 4.18.1

Hi, I'm using Python 3.9 and 3.12 on separate machines, just found out this library seems to be helpful in my use case. Is this library still actively maintained? For installation, pip install vaex will do the trick or should I install specific version?

[ddelange]

my above two comments are still actual: vaex currently does not support python 3.12 pending merge and release of #2449 by @maartenbreddels.

for the time being you can clone that branch to your machine and install from source using pip install . (source install steps here)

can be closed now? 🎉

[ddelange]

vaex-core 4.19.0 has been released (supports python 3.12 and numpy v2), but the corresponding versions of vaex, vaex-ml etc still have to be released by @maartenbreddels

[esuriddick]

Is my understanding correct that vaex is still not compatible with Python 3.12?

[ddelange]

correct, unless you install from source (see my previous comment)
