[Linux] Add Python 3.12 support

[TheEpic-dev]

Hey! I was trying to pip install piper-tts, but it fails to resolve piper-phonemize. I see on PyPI that there is a Python 3.12 build for Mac OS, but not for Linux. As Python 3.12 is now the default on Arch Linux and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, would it be possible to update or rebuild the package with support for 3.12?

Thanks, Pat

In the meantime, you can download the source from tag v1.1.0, and in it, edit the dockerfile to build a wheel for Python 3.12 (i.e., add to or replace the pip wheel calls to target cp312 rather than 311, 310...). The manylinux_2_28_x86_64 Docker image ships with CPython 3.12 so this is the only required change. Then you build per the readme file.

Then you install the whl you just built alongside with piper-tts. In pipx, you'd have to use something like --pip-args="$HOME/Temporary/piper-phonemize-1.1.0/dist/piper_phonemize-1.1.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl" (with an absolute path because pipx changes its working directory).

If you trust me—which you shouldn't since I could very well have added a system("rm -rf /home") or worse in there for kicks and giggles—here's my build: https://temp.zetanor.com/g417y32tss0q8l43bg4e6q/piper_phonemize-1.1.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl

Thanks. I decided it wasn't a high priority for me after all. I did want to test it locally real quick, but as I am already using Docker for a bunch of projects, I can easily run in an Ubuntu container with python 3.10.

Would it be possible to upload the source bundle to pypi? That would allow pip to build the wheel locally (assuming the needed packages are installed) rather than just having to wait for built wheels be be pushed to pypi

Checking in on this -

It's September, how's it going?

[thewh1teagle]

Does anyone interested working with me on that?

1. Add option to build on Windows
2. Add option to build on macOS
3. Add BUILDING.md with docs about build it on linux/macos/windows
4. Add CI on Github actions to build and publish pre built wheels for Windows/macOS.

Then we can create a PR here, and in the meantime a fork which will publish wheels.
