BLD: Python 3.11 wheels

[lithomas1]

closes pandas-dev/pandas#46680

[lithomas1]

Hmmm. The Docker images here still seem to be picking up Python 3.11.0b3 instead of Python 3.11rc1.
Maybe the multibuild focal images need to be rebuilt?

You mean the ones used for testing the wheel, right? I submitted multi-build/docker-images#36 to update that.

Yup, thanks for updating the images.

Yep, this should be good to go. The version number will have to be bumped, though, to 1.5.x(or back to 1.5.0rc0).

cool

The version number will have to be bumped, though, to 1.5.x(or back to 1.5.0rc0).

That will be done here, in this PR, after #195 is merged?

@lithomas1 I'm not sure how you get commit permissions on this repo. Maybe not an issue if we move to cibuildwheel soon. Maybe should cc pandas-core when ready for review and merge as probably Joris, Tom and Jeff have permissions to merge.

@mattip Do you have(or know who has) the access to add people to this repo? Our current release manager(Simon) is taking a break, so if possible could you add me(@lithomas1) and @datapythonista so that we can take over?

Thanks.
