Python 3.10 wheel build for confluent-kafka 1.7.0

[Gyllsdorff]

Description

Python 3.10 have been released but the latest confluent-kafka release 1.7.0 don't have a prebuilt wheel for it.

It is easy to build it from source but it slows down some of the image build procedures quite a bit.

How to reproduce

Is there a plan to build a wheel for 3.10?

Interested in this too. Seems 3.9 doesn't yet exist either.

@david-walker-gfs, 3.9 wheels are available, https://pypi.org/project/confluent-kafka/1.7.0/#files

This would be nice

Thanks for the link!

v1.8.2 is now released, with py 3.6-3.9 wheels. We'll look into v3.10 wheels for the next release.

[grutts]

This project releases about 3 times per year. Would you consider releasing a patch (v1.8.3) earlier than the typical release frequency, with 3.10 wheels included?

[edenhill]

The slow release cadence is due to severe CI issues during the latter part of 2021. We're soon moving to another solution which will allow us to release more often.

Good news! Thanks

When do you plan to release the wheel for Python 3.10?

[edumorlom]

3.10 would be great

Hi @edenhill! Is there any way the community can help to prioritize this issue?
