Pip install fails on python 3.12

[nicholas-a-guerra]

When trying to install the questdb client using pip, it fails when using 3.12. It fails with both pip install questdb and with pip install questdb[dataframe]. Seems to be something related to dataframe.pxi.

Python version: 3.12.2
Pip version: 24.0

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple

It seems like it's attempting to rebuild from source and failing.
It should be just using the pre-built binaries.
I.e. one of these: https://pypi.org/project/questdb/#files

What OS / architecture are you on? What exact Python version are you running?

I've split this issue into two:

• This issue is for investigating and fixing why Python 3.12 is not picking up the binary release of QuestDB.
• Can't install from source package distribution. #82 is to fix the source release so it contains all files needed to build from source.

Python 3.12.2
Raspberry Pi OS on a CM4

I can get the exact os details if needed

Latest release supports ARM-64 bit Linux.
