2024-06-09 10:04:44 Andreas Maier description Github Actions now provides Python 3.13-beta.1 (actions/setup-python with python_version='3.13-beta.1'). Because lxml in Pypi does not yet have binary wheel archives for Python 3.13, the installation of lxml via pip causes these wheel archives to be built. The build requires the libxml2 and libxslt OS libraries to be installed. On the ubuntu versions provided by Github Actions, they are not installed. Taking care of installing them in GitHub Actionss workflows is too cumbersome for pure Python packages, particularly when supporting multiple OS platforms. Please provide binary wheel archives for Python 3.13 on Pypi. Github Actions now provides Python 3.13-beta.1 (actions/setup-python with python_version='3.13-beta.1').
