Thank you!

This should already work with 3.12 if you install MeCab first. I'll work on making wheels.

[polm]

You should be able to install 3.12 wheels shortly using pip install mecab-python3==1.0.9dev3. If I can get confirmation this works I'll make a proper release.

I do not see any Linux/macOS wheels for 3.12 in 1.0.9.dev3 ...

Indeed, pip install mecab-python3==1.0.9dev3 on Ubuntu fails as

[polm]

Thanks for checking. It seems that the way the version range was specified didn't work, I'll give it another go.

[polm]

OK, figured it out and 1.0.9dev4 should be up with wheels shortly.

[tueda]

pip install mecab-python3==1.0.9dev4 works for me (python 3.12.1, Ubuntu 20.04.6, x86_64), but I doubt it on macOS because no macOS wheels in 1.0.9.dev4, though.

i tried but it not work for me

[polm]

I have tried adding 3.12 to the config for the wheels, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working for OSX, even though the logs make it clear it's installed. I will get around to fixing it eventually, but if anyone wants to contribute a fix that'd be a big help.

[polm]

I have just released v1.0.9, which should resolve this. The issue with OSX specifically was with the version of cibuildwheel, see https://github.com/polm/fugashi/pull/91 for details.

Apologies it took so long to resolve this.
