Package cannot be installed with Python 3.11

[jpattee]

When attempting to install via 'pip install pecanpy' on a mac, I receive the following error: " RuntimeError: Cannot install on Python version 3.11.0; only versions >=3.7,<3.11 are supported." Will this package be made compatible with Python 3.11, or should I revert to an older version?

Hi @jpattee, thank you for your interest in using PecanPy! Sorry about the late response.

I have not tested the compatibility with Python 3.11 yet. My impression is that the core packages such as Numpy and Numba do not support Python 3.11 just yet. For now, you might have to use a slightly older version of Python, say Python 3.10, to run PecanPy. I will test the compatibility these two days and keep you posted on that.

There are currently two sources of incompatibility with Python 3.11:

• Python 3.11 support is currently blocked by numba, which is actively under development Python 3.11 numba/numba#8304.
• On the other hand, there is some issue with installing gensim with Python 3.11 on mac m1 machines (pip install failure on homebrew Python 3.11 with clang error piskvorky/gensim#3425).

Since Python 3.11 support for numba has been included in their v0.57RC milestone, we can expect this to be done pretty soon! By then, I will do further testing with Python 3.11.

Since Python 3.11 support for numpy has been included in their v0.57RC milestone, we can expect this to be done pretty soon!

Are you referring to Numpy, or another package? It's been entirely possible to install numpy on 3.11 using pip for some time now, both on Windows and *nix architecture. Not looking to nitpick, just seeking clarity for what I should be keeping an eye upon.

Thanks for the catch @sxwebster! Indeed, I meant numba. I have updated the comment above to fix this typo.
