CI: BLD: build wheels and fix test suite for Python 3.12 - #23991

Hmm, I tested on GitHub Actions on my own fork and that is happy with

python: ["cp312"]
env:
    CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS: True

The Cirrus CI yaml is a little different; I expected this to work but it doesn't:

env:
        CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS: True
        CIBW_BUILD: cp312-*

it ends with:

cibuildwheel: No build identifiers selected: BuildSelector(build_config='cp312-*', skip_config='cp36-* cp37-* cp-38* pp37-* *-manylinux_i686 *_ppc64le *_s390x *-musllinux_aarch64 *-win32', requires_python=<SpecifierSet('>=3.9')>, prerelease_pythons=True)

not sure if it's not yet supported yet or the cp312-* selector needs a tweak. If anyone happens to know, that would be helpful here.

test_requirements.txt is annoying, we now need it with an unpinned setuptools for Python 3.12, and ==59.2.0 on other Python versions. Guess no choice but to duplicate it for now.

Is the cibuildwheel version current on that job? I see 2.12.1 where 2.13.1 is the latest.

Guess no choice but to duplicate it

you mean to put a selector on the line in test_requirements.txt for the python version, or do you want to duplicate the file?

Thanks @mattip, good catches. My brain is kinda fried it seems after the mini-sprint in the last 36 hours:)

This is ready now. For merging it, please include [wheel build] in the merge commit message, that'll kick off new wheel builds for upload to the nightlies bucket.

The one CI failure is a connection issue; the actual job had completed and is green in Azure.

@seberg or @charris would one of you mind reviewing this? Matti is traveling for a little while so I don't expect he'll get to this soon, and I suspect some folks in downstream projects are keenly awaiting the 3.12 nightlies.

Thanks @rgommers. Lets keep things moving.

I merged with the github button and will manually kick off a wheel build

Ah, guess I was wrong - thanks Matti!

🎉 I think manual button doesn't trigger the cirrus builds, but it probably doesn't matter much in practice, the next build is tomorrow anyway.
