Python 3.12 release request

[impredicative]

Is there a release for Python 3.12? Thanks.

I can schedule a Release CI for python 3.12 and see if we can simply add a Release pipeline for that

@jim19930609 Is Taichi abandoned? It doesn't currently install on Python 3.12.

[jim19930609]

Hi @impredicative, sorry for the imprompt reply. We have tried Python 3.12 on the release pipeline, but it fails on a bunch of PyTorch-related tests. We then figured out that PyTorch does not have Python 3.12 support, and so we decided to postpone this support for now.

But feel free to install taichi from source: https://docs.taichi-lang.org/docs/dev_install and build your own Python 3.12 wheel

hi,
It seems PyTorch has already supported Python3.12 (#119743)。

Is there a chance for Taichi to support Python3.12 ?

[jarmitage]

Also requesting this, since 3.12 is now usually the default version installed

[impredicative]

I see the PR #8522 is open.

[jim19930609]

Yeah, but it fails a bunch of tests, I should (hopefully) have sometime next week to work on this.

hello, any update on this topic ? thanks

[impredicative]

I don't think it's wise to use taichi anymore for new projects for two reasons:

1. It does not maintain support for newer versions of Python. Even if it were to now get updated to support 3.12, it cannot be trusted to maintain support, and will only come in the way.
2. https://github.com/NVIDIA/warp is a potentially better-managed alternative for some use cases.
