Python-3.8.0a4 wheel support ?

[stonebig]

Would it be possible to have a test wheel for numba on pypi for Python-3.8.0a4 (or b1) Windows 64 bit ?

(it's for datashader use, currently miss the Qt & Numba ecosystems on 3.8)

We will take a look, though I'm not sure if we'll have it working in time for the 0.44 release in a few weeks. I believe we can publish test wheels to Anaconda.org as well as conda packages.

hum. PEP570 adds a new parameter in Types interface "co_posonlyargcount", it may not be a quick patch.

Python-3.8.0b2 support ?

[seibert]

It is still on our todo list, but not the highest priority yet since 3.8 final doesn't come out until October. We're likely to work on 3.8 testing and support (which due to bytecode changes might not be totally trivial) in the July/August timeframe.

I see Christoph Gohlke has succeeded to do a 1rst wheel https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numba

... and it works, at least on the simple case.

python3.8 is now supported. closing.
