Distro versions and Python versions
piwheels builds wheels for Python versions in versions of Debian.
This issue states the current status of each Debian version in piwheels, and will be updated as things change.
| Debian version | Python version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Jessie | 3.4 | :checkered_flag: end-of-life |
| Stretch | 3.5 | :checkered_flag: end-of-life |
| Buster | 3.7 | :checkered_flag: end-of-life |
| Bullseye | 3.9 | :heavy_check_mark: building |
| Bookworm | 3.11 | :heavy_check_mark: building |
| Trixie | 3.13 | :heavy_check_mark: building |
Bullseye wheels have been working through the backlog for the last couple of weeks - we've cleared the backlog and they're now up-to-date and will continue to build from now on. :partying_face:
Any roadmap for Python 3.10? I run HomeAssistant which uses numpy and compiling numpy on Raspberry Pi 2B is slow but also doesn't finish. a pre-built wheel for armv7l would be great to use
We only build for versions of Python in Debian releases. The next Debian release is in the summer, so we'll start building for that once it's released, with whatever version of Python it comes with, presumably 3.10: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python3
@bennuttall Debian 12 is scheduled for release on June 10. With the release of Debian 12, will piwheels start building Python 3.11?
Release date
We plan to release on 2023-06-10.
If you want to celebrate it, please consider attending a Debian release party, or hosting your own! See https://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartyBookworm for more information. (Note: the release process typically takes the whole day and the release isn't done until the early hours of Sunday UTC.) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/04/msg00007.html?ref=news.itsfoss.com
Hi! Approximately when can we expect bookworm packages to be available?
Thank you for piwheels <3
Waiting on some work on the backend to support multi-digit Python versions :laughing: https://github.com/piwheels/piwheels/issues/288 hopefully not too much longer before we can get that done
