Starts supporting Python 3.15: publish wheels for it and run the integration tests on it, following what #566 did for 3.14.

Wheels

cibuildwheel is bumped 3.2.1 -> 4.2.1. 4.2.0 is where cp315 started being built by default, without the cpython-prerelease enable set — it pins a 3.15 release candidate, which upstream guarantees is ABI compatible with the final release. 3.2.1 knows nothing about 3.15, so no configuration alone could have produced those wheels.

The bump does need a skip cleanup. 4.x dropped everything below Python 3.9 and no longer builds PyPy unless enable asks for it, which leaves four dead entries that 4.2.1 warns about: cp38* and pp38* name versions it no longer knows, pp39* names a PyPy it does not enable, and pp3*t-* matches nothing, as there are no free-threaded PyPy builds. All four are removed. cp39* stays, since 3.9 is still a build target we opt out of, and so does cp3*t-*, which is what keeps the free-threaded CPython wheels out of the set.

Nothing else in [tool.cibuildwheel] changes: build = ["cp3*"] already selects cp315, PyPy is already covered by enable = ["pypy"], and 32-bit Linux — which 4.0.0 stopped building by default — was never built here anyway.

Tests

3.15 and 3.15t join the integration test matrix, with the same asyncore exclusions as the 3.14 rows (asyncore was removed from the standard library in 3.12, so only 3.11 still exercises it). The matrix goes from 11 to 15 jobs.

As for 3.14, no free-threaded wheels are published; 3.15t is tested only.

Verification

  • Diffed cibuildwheel --print-build-identifiers between 3.2.1 and 4.2.1 against the real pyproject.toml, for linux, macos and windows. The only difference is the added cp315-manylinux_x86_64 / cp315-macosx_x86_64 / cp315-win_amd64: PyPy stays at pp311, and no new architecture or free-threaded identifier appears. The aarch64 invocation, which overrides CIBW_BUILD, was checked the same way. Neither emits warnings after the skip cleanup.
  • Ran the unit suite on 3.15 and on 3.15t: 953 passed, 112 skipped on each. No driver code change was required.
  • Checked that the Cython-generated extensions compile under 3.15.
  • Confirmed uv resolves both 3.15 and 3.15t, so the new matrix rows will actually provision.

docs/pyproject.toml is deliberately untouched — that is the docs build environment, which Renovate bumps on its own (#978).

Pre-review checklist

  • I have split my patch into logically separate commits.
  • All commit messages clearly explain what they change and why.
  • I added relevant tests for new features and bug fixes.
  • All commits compile, pass static checks and pass test.
  • PR description sums up the changes and reasons why they should be introduced.
  • I have provided docstrings for the public items that I want to introduce.
  • I have adjusted the documentation in ./docs/source/.
  • I added appropriate Fixes: annotations to PR description.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project now declares and documents support for Python 3.15. Wheel builds use cibuildwheel==4.2.1. Integration tests run on Python 3.15 and free-threaded Python 3.15t. The asyncore event-loop manager is excluded for both versions. The changelog records that only standard Python 3.15 wheels are published.

This change adds Python 3.15 support and related build and test coverage, but the installation documentation may imply PyPy 3.15 support that is not available. Clarifying CPython versus PyPy coverage would prevent inaccurate user expectations.

Clarify PyPy support by Python version.

PyPy 3.15 does not exist. The pp3* wheel selector therefore cannot test PyPy 3.15, so the current wording overstates PyPy coverage. State CPython support through 3.15 and list the PyPy versions that CI tests.

3.11 is in bug fix mode only until October 31, 2027

I think it might be about time to drop it from CI testing

cibuildwheel started building cp315 by default in 4.2.0, without needing
the "cpython-prerelease" enable set: it pins a 3.15 release candidate,
which upstream guarantees is ABI compatible with the final release. 3.2.1
knows nothing about 3.15, so no amount of configuration would have
produced those wheels.

4.x dropped everything below Python 3.9 and no longer builds PyPy unless
`enable` asks for it, which leaves four dead entries in our `skip` list
that 4.2.1 warns about: `cp38*` and `pp38*` name versions it no longer
knows, `pp39*` names a PyPy it does not enable, and `pp3*t-*` matches
nothing, as there are no free-threaded PyPy builds. All four are removed.
`cp39*` stays, since 3.9 is still a build target we opt out of, and so
does `cp3*t-*`, which is what keeps the free-threaded CPython wheels out
of the set.

Nothing else in the configuration needs to change: `build = ["cp3*"]`
already selects cp315, PyPy is already covered by `enable = ["pypy"]`,
and 32-bit Linux, which 4.0.0 stopped building by default, was never
built here anyway.

Comparing `cibuildwheel --print-build-identifiers` between 3.2.1 and
4.2.1 for linux, macos and windows confirms the only difference is the
added cp315 target; PyPy stays at pp311 and no new architecture or
free-threaded identifier appears. The aarch64 invocation, which overrides
CIBW_BUILD, was checked the same way, and neither emits warnings.
Declare the 3.15 classifier, run the integration tests on 3.15 and on
free-threaded 3.15t, and say so in the docs. With the cibuildwheel bump
in place this is all that publishing 3.15 wheels needs; no driver code
change was required.

The matrix rows mirror the 3.14 ones, including the asyncore exclusions:
asyncore was removed from the standard library in 3.12, so only 3.11
still runs that event loop manager. As for 3.14, free-threaded wheels
are not published - 3.15t is tested but `skip = ["cp3*t-*"]` keeps it
out of the wheel set.

Verified by running the unit suite on both 3.15 and 3.15t (953 passed,
112 skipped on each) and by checking that the Cython-generated
extensions compile under 3.15.
