Python 3.11 wheels missing

[penalvch]

Hi all, attempted to install pycairo via pip and got below error. The error suggests not root caused to pip.

python -V
Python 3.11.0

pip -V
pip 22.3.1 from C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.11)

python -m pip install -U pip pycairo

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

You can work that around temporarily by using Python 3.10. We will look into providing 3.11 wheels.

Or you can download the CI artifact from https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo/suites/9257381459/artifacts/433262311 and install it.

Though it would be better to upload to PyPI and also probably use https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo/pull/243

@penalvch there is now a new release on pypi with 3.11 wheels
