Python/WinRT wheel file on PiPy for Python 3.10 #777

Closed Crypto-Python closed 2 years ago

Crypto-Python commented 2 years ago

Python 3.10 has been released in October 2021 and we would like to support it in our application https://github.com/Cryptnox-Software/cryptnoxpro. We're using winrt for interfacing with Windows Hello to unlock our cards with it. On the PiPy page if winrt there are wheel files for 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9: https://pypi.org/project/winrt/#files Is there a plan or release date for the wheel file for Python version 3.10?

Python310\python.exe -m pip install winrt

You can use https://pypi.org/project/winsdk instead. It supports Python 3.10 and has many bug fixes compared to the winrt package.

It works flawlessly. Maybe winrt could add into their readme that it's not supported and point to winsdk as a replacement.
