[jira] [Commented] (CASSPYTHON-14) Drop pypy support

["Bret McGuire (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSPYTHON-14?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18097646#comment-18097646 ] 

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.

> numpy has recently [dropped support for pypy|https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/30416].  Spark is [considering doing the same|https://lists.apache.org/thread/glcq0zgr33sozo7y4y7jqph24yh3m92p].  We might want to consider following suit in order to avoid supporting an unmaintained platform.
