Release wheels for Python 3.13

[hugovk]

The Python 3.13 beta is out and the release manager has a call to action:

We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to test with 3.13 during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug tracker as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release candidate phase (Tuesday 2024-07-30). Our goal is to have no ABI changes after beta 4 and as few code changes as possible after 3.13.0rc1, the first release candidate. To achieve that, it will be extremely important to get as much exposure for 3.13 as possible during the beta phase.

To help test projects which use watchfiles, it would be very helpful to release wheels to PyPI for those of us who don't have the Rust toolchain set up. Currently we get:

❯ python3.13 -m pip install watchfiles
Collecting watchfiles

Thank you!

Currently my Python 3.13 CI build is stuck on watchfiles, with this error.

One thing that needs to be done is to update PyO3 to 0.22.0 or higher, since those support Python 3.13. There is a migration guide available here: https://pyo3.rs/v0.22.1/migration

In crate-py/rpds#79 a similar upgrade was done, it might be useful as reference.

Unfortunately, I'm not a Rust dev, so not able to do it myself.

Hi Ewout, I saw your comment in rpds and tracked here :). I just made a PR to watchfiles to bump PyO3 to 0.22.x to support 3.13. Once it's merged, you should be able to use watchfiles in 3.13 with GIL. I can follow up when the GIL-less support from PyO3 is released. :)

v0.23.0 is released with support for 3.13.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

run this command in git bash

some libraries need rust ompitler to run

[samuelcolvin]

the point is you don't need rust installed if there are binaries available, as their are for watchfiles.
