Python 3.11 release?

[lmmentel]

Hey, any chance you could release a version with python 3.11 wheels?

[brandon-rhodes]

@lmmentel — Okay, I've upgraded to a more recent cibuildwheel and re-run the release build — can you try again and see if you find a Python 3.11 wheel for your platform?

[lmmentel]

Wow, this is a blazingly fast response, thanks 🙌 I just checked pypi https://pypi.org/project/ephem/ and the latest release is still 4.1.4. Should I be looking someplace else for the wheels?

😅 I got fooled by the release date being Dec 2022. Didn't know you could update release artifacts on pypi like that. It works for me now, thanks! This shaves some weight from my docker image, not having to carry compilers around.

[brandon-rhodes]

I'm glad it works!

The release was successful because it didn't try to change any existing artifacts, but merely tried to add some new wheels. If I wanted to revise the old wheels, then a new release would definitely have been necessary!

Hi Brandon — There may still be an issue. I just got this output from running %pip install pyephem from Jupyter on my ipad.

@dnrohr — I have never tried installing software on an iPad, but from your error messages, I'm guessing it uses a different processor than a desktop Mac? It looks like the Python 3.11 wheel for macOS targets an Intel processor:

https://pypi.org/project/ephem/#files

ephem-4.1.4-cp311-cp311-macosx_10_9_x86_64.whl (1.4 MB view hashes)
Uploaded Apr 7, 2023 cp311

On the other hand, it looks like my sgp4 library does include arm64, so it must be possible:

https://pypi.org/project/sgp4/#files

sgp4-2.22-cp311-cp311-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl (158.3 kB view hashes)
Uploaded Apr 27, 2023 cp311

sgp4-2.22-cp311-cp311-macosx_10_9_x86_64.whl (159.8 kB view hashes)
Uploaded Apr 27, 2023 cp311

sgp4-2.22-cp311-cp311-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl (183.9 kB view hashes)

So it looks like there's a need to edit, or maybe even rewrite, ephem's .github/workflows/ files to target more Mac architectures, maybe based on how sgp4 does it. I'm not sure I'll have time soon to tackle the project, though.

But so that we don't forget, feel free to open an issue here if you'd like, asking for arm64.
