Bret McGuire commented on CASSPYTHON-14:
----------------------------------------
The numpy issue referenced above included a link to [this
discussion|https://github.com/orgs/pypy/discussions/5145] around 3.12 support
on pypy. It seems increasingly clear to me that there isn't a great intent (or
great amount of resources) to keep pace here.
I'm not going to set out to break pypy support but I don't see any obvious
reason to continue worrying about this platform. We had to make several
changes to support Python 3.12 and i don't want to worry about pypy-specific
gates for those. Perhaps more importantly the question about dependencies
removing support for older Python releases is becoming more of a thing.
